Q. systemctl: enable and start / disable and stop in one command
A. Use the --now option
systemctl enable --now <service>
= systemctl enable <service>
= systemctl start <service>
systemctl disable --now <service>
= systemctl disable <service>
= systemctl stop <service>
The man page on --now says:
When used with enable, the units will also be started. When used with disable
or mask, the units will also be stopped. The start or stop operation is only
carried out when the respective enable or disable operation has been successful.
