systemctl [OPTIONS...] start PATTERN...
DESCRIPTION
systemctl start activates systemd units, starting services, mounting filesystems, or activating other unit types. The command queues a start job for the specified unit and its dependencies.For services, this starts the service process. For sockets, it begins listening. For mounts, it mounts the filesystem. Dependencies are automatically started as needed.

Specify how to deal with already queued jobs (fail, replace, etc.)
