<para>Note that glob patterns operate on the set of primary names of units currently in memory. Units which
are not active and are not in a failed state usually are not in memory, and will not be matched by any
pattern. In addition, in case of instantiated units, systemd is often unaware of the instance name until
the instance has been started. Therefore, using glob patterns with <command>start</command> has limited
usefulness. Also, secondary alias names of units are not considered.</para>

<para>Option <option>--all</option> may be used to also operate on inactive units which are
referenced by other loaded units. Note that this is not the same as operating on "all" possible
units, because as the previous paragraph describes, such a list is ill-defined. Nevertheless,
<command>systemctl start --all <replaceable>GLOB</replaceable></command> may be useful if all the
units that should match the pattern are pulled in by some target which is known to be loaded.
