Fedora: how to use a systemd service, without making it persistent ?

Question

I want to start a systemd service (dhcpd) , but only if a link to the internet is present. I don't want the service to start on boot.

systemctl start doesn't work unless the service is enabled.

This works, but it's very kludgy:

if 
    * 
 systemctl enable 
 systemctl start 
 systemctl disable 
fi

Any better ideas ?

There are multiple ways to start a service, you can google that...

systemctl start doesnt work unless the service is enabled.
If thats the case, something is wrong, you should be able to start a service even if its not enabled.
