The proper way to figure out what failed to start and why is to use systemctl
# list of running services systemctl # status of particular service systemctl status name-of-service Now if your concern is the service loading order, then you're really talking about problems in your unit files, i.e., there's a dependency or sequencing instruction that wasn't included. Unlike sysvinit, you don't need a reboot to determine or solve load order problems.
