Hi
I have read this article
<http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/three-levels-of-off> and it appears to me
that unmasking and starting a service should also enable it back. But on
trying it does not appear to happen like that
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo systemctl status flinkjobs.service
● flinkjobs.service - Flinkjobs Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/flinkjobs.service; disabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-07-17 18:27:38 UTC; 26min ago
Main PID: 23321 (bash)
Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/flinkjobs.service
...
*Stopped and masked a service*
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo service flinkjobs stop
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo systemctl mask flinkjobs.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/flinkjobs.service → /dev/null.
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo service flinkjobs status
● flinkjobs.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead) since Sat 2021-07-17 19:00:33 UTC; 1min 54s ago
Main PID: 23321 (code=killed, signal=TERM)
*Unmasked and started a service*
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo systemctl unmask flinkjobs.service
Removed /etc/systemd/system/flinkjobs.service.
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo service flinkjobs start
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo service flinkjobs status
● flinkjobs.service - Flinkjobs Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/flinkjobs.service; disabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2021-07-17 19:02:53 UTC; 10s ago
Main PID: 7958 (bash)
Tasks: 19 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/flinkjobs.service
...
But if I do is-enabled it is showing the service as disabled
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ sudo systemctl is-enabled flinkjobs.service
disabled
Should not unmasking and starting a service also make it enabled?
ubuntu@vrni-platform:~$ systemctl --version
