Generally, in systemd when we want to de-emphasize something redundant or deprecated stuff we stop documenting it while still supporting it, so that people stop using it slowly.

(Apparently, ALT Linux wanted to just do a straightforward "service O V" → "systemctl V O" substitution or something like that.) I don't know if it'll be removed or not, but as is the general rule with everything not in official documentation, I would say _don't rely_ on its existence (unless it was specifically added for your use case). https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/64e5f1b721d76948e2987f65841dc087f684e1de http://git.altlinux.org/people/piastry/packages/?p=service.git;a=commitdiff;h=ba51a53881638ff0d93172ae3778329b2d5b316e -- Mantas Mikulėnas ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

"condrestart" and "condreload" are working just fine and aliases for "try-reload" and "try-restart" as with the olld service-command while if find "try" a dumb wording to be honest given that it's executed based on the condition "is that service running" and not "tried" ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
