Suddenly systemctl stopped to work while I ssh'ed in my remote server to check service status. Output was

Failed to list units: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

I discovered that now upstart is used (after a couple of reboots trying to make systemctl work).

Can I use systemd as my main init again? I didn't found any info how to switch from upstart to systemd here.

Ubuntu 16.04.5.

Thanks to George Udosen, I found this article.

I edited /etc/default/grub - added init=/bin/systemd to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, than restarted the server sudo shutdown -r now
