I have already replied to this, and pointed out that such a scheme is inherently racy, and that this is something we will unlikely support natively in systemd. Sorry for that. And please don't make this a "but it worked fine in sysvinit!" thing, because it was racy there as well. > I've not received any useful feedback on how to customize my system to > behave that way, and no indication that there is any intention to add > it as a feature. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024325.html I am sorry, if this reply doesn't make you happy, but I guess we will not be able to mke everybody happy. But please be fair enough to admit that you did get a response from us, and a clear explanation that we will not support this upstream, and why we won't do so. > So it is clear that this is not a "bug", as it is the behavior > intended by the designers, but I'm still not happy.
