If one looks for dovecot entry through systemctl list-units, one can't
grep it.

The names are strange like, as mentioned, mail-transfer-agent.target.

It was easier earlier to check things through the names of the daemon
programs.

Strangely the output of systemctl list-units, is automatically piped through
, maybe "less" which may cause problems if used in scripts.

Also, why systemctl does not take two dashes for long args. Why are we
breaking away from set pattern of unix semantics & philosophy?

Most people can do without the essentials, but not without the luxuries.
