Linux Determine which Services are Enabled at Boot

To determine which services are enabled at boot on a Linux system, you can use the systemctl command. Follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal or command prompt on your Linux system.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    systemctl list-unit-files --type=service

    This will display a list of all services that are available on your system, and indicate whether they are enabled or disabled.

  3. Look for the “enabled” column in the output. Any service with a value of “enabled” in this column is set to start automatically when the system boots.
  4. If you want to filter the list to show only the enabled services, you can use the following command instead:
    systemctl list-unit-files --type=service | grep enabled

    This will display only the services that are set to start automatically at boot.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to identify which services are enabled at boot on your Linux system. This can be useful for troubleshooting and optimizing system performance.
