Hmm, I found After more common that Wants, but maybe I only look at units that have problems. :) I think the intent is to handle optional dependencies, but in practice I don't know that it works well. It would almost be better to have some kind of cluster config file that specifies all the actual dependencies (possibly including cross-host) and have it spit out all the unit dependencies automatically. That is a bit much to ask for now, and probably a bit much for somebody who just wants their laptop to launch kde after all their mounts are ready. Specifying After vs Wants separately does make sense. Dependency doesn't have to imply sequential. -- Rich
