I'd be happier with Type=oneshot, since it communicates more clearly what it is about, especially to people without a math/CS background. | Example: on suse early boot scripts also carry LSB information and can | be started in parallel. Some of them are more service-like (e.g. the | one that runs spawns udev very early on bootup) and others more | tasks-like (e.g. fsck). And we couldn't figure out just by prsing the | LSB headers what type this is. On Fedora we have a couple of services | like this, too, such es iptables. Debian is like suse here as well, fwiw. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
