How to check status for user level systemd unit
If alice has a user level systemd service unit named foo.service located at /home/alice/.config/systemd/user/foo.service then I can switch user to alice and check the status of the unit using the --user switch:
root@srv0:~# su - alice
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
alice@srv0:~$ systemctl status foo.service --user
● foo.service - foo
Loaded: loaded (/home/alice/.config/systemd/user/foo.service; disabled; v
Active: active (running) since Sat 2019-03-23 04:11:03 UTC; 2min 6s ago
Main PID: 2246 (python3)
CGroup: /user.slice/user-20021.slice/user@20021.service/foo.service
└─2246 python3 /home/alice/devapp foo bar baz
Is it possible to check the unit status (and also manipulate the unit) without switching user first?
I've tried using sudo but it's not working:
root@srv0:~# sudo -l -u alice systemctl status --user foo
/bin/systemctl status --user foo
root@srv0:~# sudo -u alice systemctl status --user foo
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
I've also tried using user@UID syntax, also not working:
root@srv0:~# systemctl status user@1001:foo
● user@1001:foo.service - User Manager for UID 1001:foo
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/user@.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
