Alexandru N. Onea aa1ca34586 systemctl: subscribe to signals in is-system-running --wait
"systemctl is-system-running --wait" installs a match rule for the
StartupFinished signal, but never calls the manager's Subscribe()
method. PID 1 broadcasts manager signals unconditionally only on direct
(private) bus connections; on the API bus it emits them only while at
least one client is subscribed (see bus_foreach_bus()).

When run as non-root, systemctl talks to PID 1 via the system bus and
only receives StartupFinished if some unrelated client happens to be
subscribed at that moment. Otherwise it keeps waiting after boot has
completed, even though the system state is already "running" or
"degraded".

Call Subscribe() after installing the match and before querying the
current state, so the signal cannot be missed in between. This is a
no-op on direct connections, and the subscription is dropped
automatically when the connection closes.

Fixes: #44150
