Improve systemctl check, style + cleanup

- Use `systemctl is-active` to check if service is running
  - Cleaner that `grep` on `systemctl status` output
  - Return success means service is running/active
  - Return failure means not running which could be due to
    stopped/failed service or that service does not exist

- Use `command -v` instead of `which`
  Ref: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2230

- Follow Google "Shell Style Guide": indent, use "readonly"

- Minor: Rephrase comment, avoid all caps
