I don't think so, but perhaps I'm mistaken, OTOH Google doesn't
find relevant links [1] ...

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/systemctl 
/usr/bin/systemctl is owned by systemd 229-3

... at least 229-3 works here without such an error. I just tested
start/stop.

Regarding the speed, it depends on what my network scripts are doing,
if I start or stop them.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl start alice 
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl stop alice
[...]
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl stop alice-dhcp
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl start alice-dhcp

They could finish immediately or take very long, but that is caused by
those scripts.

Ralf
