Systemctl remove unit from failed list How can I remove a unit from the `systemctl --failed` list without rebooting the machine? Background: I have, amongst others, the following entry in the list: openvpn-server@intranert.service loaded failed failed OpenVPN service for intranert This happened because I misspelled `intranet`, which is the actual productive instance, on the unit template's activation some time ago. However, I now always get confused at first glance, when I check the server's failed units, since it looks like the productive service actually failed until I recognize the spelling mistake and remember my bygone typo.

Use `systemctl` to remove the failed status. To reset all units with failed status:


systemctl reset-failed


or just your specific unit:


systemctl reset-failed openvpn-server@intranert.service
