I suggest you read up on systemd to answer this and many other standard questions. The link posted by Reindl is a good start, but I suggest also reading all the links under "Manuals and Documentation for Users and Administrators" (not all the manpages are necessary reading, but some of them are) and "The systemd for Administrators Blog Series" from http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/. > I shall presume the so called default target in this instance is multi-user- > target.as I am not using X windows and hopefully wont ever need systemd for > xwindows.. By default, default.target is multi-user.target. You can find out what yours is by calling "systemctl get-default" and change it with "systemctl set-default". > Now I have put custom service files in /etc/systemd./system > I am using my own service and mount files to mount kernel-based filesystems > and the root filesysem.

Before adding your own service files, I strongly recommend first trying the default ones shipped with systemd. You'll then get an example of how things should be set up. In particular, you won't need your own service files for kernel-based filesystems, the root filesystem nor hwclock as these are all covered by the systemd defaults. Also, I believe rsyslog comes with systemd service files by default, so you don't need your own for that either. For network configuration and ntp that depends on what software you use, some come with systemd service files by default and others do not (but check the files shipped by one of the standard distros before writing your own). > How will systemd know how to use the > files I put in /etc/systemd/system and not try and substitute so called > 'defaut' ones? Your files will take precedence if you give them the same name as they file you replace. See "Unit Load Path" in <http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html> for details.
