Hi, I'm resurrecting this subject because it seems that some works happened around this issue but it seems to have been lost somehow.
The latest work I found is the "preset-transient" one [1], which is in my understanding about having symlinks created by the preset commands in /run/systemd/ thus having lower precedence than the symlinks created by the sysadmin in /etc/systemd/. Could anybody could give a status on this ? I also would like to know if the following possibility has been considered already. It's quite easy in its principle (not sure about it's implementation though) however I've probably overlooked some details. Basically when the user is enabling/disabling a service (via the "EnableUnitFiles" bus call), this operation would be recorded via a dedicated preset directive in a preset file located for example in: /etc/systemd/system-preset/50-user-preferences.preset For example if the user does "systemctl enable foo.service", this opertion would add "enable foo.service" in the dedicated preset file. A subsequent "systemctl disable foo" would replace the previous directive with "disable foo.service". Since the preset file is located in /etc/systemd/systemd-preset, running "systemd preset foo.service" command would simply restore the user last preferences and would ignore the distro defaults as they are now overridden. It's quite simple and I'm probably missing something here but I prefer asking just in case. Thanks for your feedback.
