Service management using systemd is a core Linux+ V8 system management objective. Administrators frequently need to view the current status of all services to determine which ones are running, stopped, failed, or inactive.
The correct command is systemctl list-units --type=services, which displays all loaded service units along with their current state, including whether they are active, inactive, failed, or running. This provides a comprehensive, real-time view of service statuses on the system and is commonly used during troubleshooting and audits.
Option A, systemctl is-active, is designed to check the status of a single service, not all services. Option B lists socket units, not services. Option C, systemctl is-enabled, checks whether services are enabled at boot, not whether they are currently running.
Linux+ V8 documentation explicitly references systemctl list-units --type=service as the primary command for viewing service runtime states. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
