Hey there!
on a Jessie system, i would like to run systemctl status as a non
privileged user, like myself, but I got:

$ systemctl status
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No such file or directory

(stracing it, it tries to access /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket which
doesnt exist as we dont run dbus there), while running as root (or via
sudo) works just fine:

$ sudo systemctl status >/dev/null ; echo $?
0

is there a way to run 'systemctl status' as a normal user?

Thanks,
