[PATCH runin] Port to systemd

2012-04-20 Thread Daniel Drake
Under systemd, the init-script runin launcher is running later than before, and NetworkManager, crond and a heap of other services are also running while runin runs. Solve this by moving to systemd. A runin-check service is run every boot, after olpc-configure but before the rest of the system.
