This is actually a nice feature - with openrc it wasn't always obvious when things should go in the boot vs default runlevel, etc. But, all that command does is create the symlinks in the target.wants directory, so you can just create those yourself if you want to. That actually works for anything - you can effectively add a dependency to a unit by creating a directory of the appropriate name and symlinking the dependency inside. -- Rich

The symlink that was puzzling me is this one: wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service - /usr/lib64/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service The name of the symlink is not the same as the .service file it points to. Is there a systemctl command that would do that for me? systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0 That is an instanced service. It is a bit like creating a symlink from net.lo to net.eth0 in openrc. If you read the service file you'll see that all it does is takes whatever is to the right of the @, tacks on a .conf, and uses that as the openvpn config file. Another example is getty@ - you want to run 6 gettys and they all start/stop independently, so instead of copying the same file 6 times you just parameterize it. -- Rich

I see Rich has already answered this because, ironically, I was unable to after a kernel update stopped my wireless from working :( Sod's Law determined that the kernel that broke thing was the one that I decided to try using dracut instead of my home-brewed initramfs, so I started off blaming that for the failure. -- Neil Bothwick You are a completely unique individual, just like everybody else. pgpn4olVW_JzQ.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
