Unfortunately, it is not that simple: - we are already forced to use --ignore-dependencies when network service tried to start/restart some network dependent services (like smb when ip address or dhcp hostname changes). - 2nd stage of our installer is running as part of the boot process and tries to start some services itself, but trying to start them will block, before they are already in the queue for being started and blocked by other services will be started once the installer has finished its duties. There, I've also discovered the merge of actions in the queue is not working at 100% : if you specify --ignore-dependencies on a action which is already in the queue, it will be bumped on top, to be processed but the options seems to be dropped (causing a deadlock). But that's another story. I was planning to handle this environment variable in our tools but tools team would prefer to have it in systemctl. I guess I'll have to maintain this patch downstream in openSUSE :( -- Frederic Crozat <fcro...@suse.com> SUSE _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
