I believe sudo (or root) isn't required for this command (nor is it needed for some of the other, interrogative systemctl commands further down, which I've snipped in the interests of brevity). Elevated privileges are needed for starting and stopping services, of course. As keystroke frugality is one of the frequently expressed ideals of the group (though often when other arguments seem unconvincing), if only for that I thought you'd like to know. -- “Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched--love for instance-- we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.” - Virginia Woolf, The Waves
