So, I just noticed that NetworkManager-wait-online uses --timeout: ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q --timeout=30 which means this delays services at most 30 seconds at boot. And you can ignore my blather about this preventing services from running. Sorry! (I'm not convinced that having a timeout is actually sensible behavior, but, well, it's what's implemented.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
