The exact command you wrote: $ systemctl status systemd-backlight@intel_backlight.service systemd-backlight@intel_backlight.service - Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of intel_backlight Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-backlight@.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd-backlight@.service(8)
However the following one (with an added "backlight:") gives a different answer: $ systemctl status systemd-backlight@backlight:intel_backlight.service systemd-backlight@backlight:intel_backlight.service - Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:intel_backlight Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-backlight@.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Mon 2017-05-01 09:50:53 +07; 9min ago Docs: man:systemd-backlight@.service(8) Main PID: 446 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) May 01 09:50:52 x1 systemd[1]: Starting Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:intel_backlight...
