You could use StopWhenUnneeded=yes for that, and stopping the target will stop all the corresponding services.

So that's a different compromise from the one you were mentioning, but maybe it works for your use case (at least it works for mine). -- Mathieu _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
