Thanks for the pointers. If I understand what's going on correctly, units specify in their [Install] section whether, when they're enabled, they should be pulled in by other units. Those symlinks usually populate the appropriate directory under /etc/systemd/system/. Besides that, some packages install symlinks under /usr/lib/systemd/system/ as part of their files to get pulled in by other units without requiring user intervention. Finally, systemctl list-unit-files will list all unit files with their enabled/disabled/static status, where static means that they run by default (when pulled in) and disabled means they can be installed - that is, they have an [Install] section - but haven't been yet. And systemctl enable/disable manages the symlinks under /etc/systems/system specified by the [Install] section. Is my understanding of the situation correct? Thanks, Gesh
