Sorry not following alias are symlinks as in all systemctl does is to 
run it when you enable it

ln -s '/etc/systemd/system/foo.service' '/etc/systemd/system/bar.service'

It even says so when you run that command

They are not without their flaws as in you have to enable the unit first 
before you can use it as in the alias cant be used until you enable it 
first [Install] remember so neither systemctl or service commands work 
on the alias in the above example bar until you do =)

And you cant disable alias ( which probably is a bug I should have filed 
long ago )
