The command

systemctl list-units

only displays instances of units, such that are currently loaded into the memory. The command

systemctl list-unit-files

on the other hand lists all unit configuration files found in the search paths. Unfortunately, the latter does not include descriptions.

Is there a handy command with which one could list all unit files with their descriptions?

try this

systemctl list-units --all

upd:

from systemctl man page

list-unit-files [PATTERN...] List unit files installed on the system, in combination with their enablement state .....

Unlike list-units this command will list template units in addition to explicitly instantiated units.

template units have @ in the name

systemctl list-unit-files --type service | grep -i "@"

  • Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a solution. 'Systemctl list-unit-files' lists units that aren't listed in 'systemctl list-units --all' – reign Apr 29 '22 at 21:51
