## NAME
       deb-systemd-invoke - wrapper around systemctl, respecting policy-rc.d

## SYNOPSIS
       **deb-systemd-invoke** [**--user**] start|stop|restart _unit__ _file_ ...

## DESCRIPTION
       **deb-systemd-invoke** is a Debian-specific helper script which asks /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d before
       performing a systemctl call.

       **deb-systemd-invoke** is intended to be used from maintscripts to start systemd unit files. It
       is specifically NOT intended to be used interactively by users. Instead, users should run
       systemd and use systemctl, or not bother about the systemd enabled state in case they are not
       running systemd.
