Display active but disabled systemd services.

Use the following script to display active but disabled services.

$ while read -r line; do
    unit=$(echo $line | awk '{print $1}')
    if [ "$(systemctl is-enabled $unit 2>/dev/null)" == "disabled" ]; then
      echo "Service $unit is active but disabled"
    fi
  done < <(systemctl list-units --no-pager --no-legend --state active --type service)

Sample usage.

$ while read -r line; do unit=$(echo $line | awk '{print $1}'); if [ "$(systemctl is-enabled $unit 2>/dev/null)" == "disabled" ]; then echo "Service $unit is active but disabled"; fi done < <(systemctl list-units --no-pager --no-legend --state active --type service)

Service acpid.service is active but disabled
Service nfs-blkmap.service is active but disabled
Service rtkit-daemon.service is active but disabled
Service upower.service is active but disabled
