+According to Leon Feng:
Systemd support shortform service name now. See the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Using_Units
For now, this only seems to work for starting, stopping and reloading services. Unfortunately it doesn't yet seem to work for enabling or disabling them. If I try for example sudo systemctl enable netcfg@Kyle or sudo systemctl disable netcfg@Kyle I receive the following error: Failed to issue method call: Invalid argument If I use the .service suffix, it works as expected. sudo systemctl start netcfg@Kyle and systemctl stop netcfg@Kyle also work as expected. Maybe it's a bug, but for now, I'll just remember the .service suffix unless I find out this behaviour is indeed abnormal. Thanks for the link. The wiki page is well written and helped prevent some potentially major headaches. ~Kyle
