Hi, list

As you see in the subject, this question comes from a lazy guy like me,
who doesn't read the systemd source code at all :P
Hey, no need to read the source code :). Please see the man page:

Hi,

Trust me, I've read that section hundreds of times. I'm actually not
that lazy ;)

I come up with this confusion when I configure a service A 'wants' and
'after' B. I thought they should be started one by one in a exact order,
but actually they intersected and run in parallel.
So: A after B, A wants B, means that when A is started, B will be
started first, and after B is started, A will be started second.
So the startup phase is sequential, but later on run in parallel.

It matches what I saw. Make sense.

Reading your post again, I think you might have something like startup
scripts in mind, where the first should finish _running_ and exit before
the second one starts. You can achieve this by adding
   Type = oneshot

How could I miss this :(

to the first service (or even to both of them).

You also say "right after": sorry, can't help you here. There's no way
to ensure that the system will not do some work in between.


Sorry, when I said "right after", I didn't mean "right" after.. Just after is fine.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! I learn a lot :)

The silly question is if A is configured to 'Wants:B' and 'After:B',
will A start exactly after B is finished or after B is started?

If A is started after B is started (still parallel somehow), is there
anything I can do to control A to be started right after B is done?
