Most Debian packages with systemd services do this, but there are exceptions. > but there are cases where you don't really want to make the > enablement configurable by the admin. One example of this is dbus.service, which is statically enabled by shipping symlinks in /lib/systemd/system in the .deb (as befits its "OS infrastructure" status, in particular as something that is used by other systemd components). Conversely, polkitd.service is statically *disabled* (it doesn't ship symlinks in the .deb and doesn't have a WantedBy), so it can be started on-demand via D-Bus activation, but is never started "eagerly" during boot (there would be no point). -- Simon McVittie Collabora Ltd. <http://www.collabora.com/> _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
