"unrecognised service" for my new systemd script

Question

I created a new systemd script /etc/systemd/system/foo.service

[Unit]
Description="My foo script"
Before=network-pre.target
Wants=network-pre.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/foo

When I run service start foo or service start foo.service

start: unrecognized service

What's wrong? Ubuntu 16.04

Solution

The service command puts the object first:

service foo start

The systemctl command does the opposite:

systemctl start foo

Thanks. Mind telling me what I need to do to make it start before networking comes up at boot? (It works correctly as service foo start) I thought the Before=network-pre.target would be enough but apparently not.
