Finding bad systemctl definitions?

I've just had to diagnose a fault that turned out to be because someone had edited a systemd definition (*.service) file and left an error behind. The result was that the service did not show up as failed but also did not run so my question is:




Is there a way to list all systemd units that have service definition errors?




As an example, here is the status of the job that failed:



localhost:~# systemctl status -l custom
● custom.service - Custom script
 Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/custom.service; disabled; vendor 
preset: disabled)
 Active: inactive (dead)

Sep 12 16:00:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: 
[/usr/lib/systemd/system/custom.service:20] Unknown section 'Path'. Ignoring.


I've tried listing dead services but there are many of them and most seem to be correct but just ended - what I want is to find the ones that have genuine errors such as this one.

    systemd-analyze verify ... will do some checks. see man systemd-analyze.
