I gave up trying to analyze stuff like this soon after systemd appeared, I just have a bunch of things in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to restart various services after a brief delay. Things like: /bin/bash -c 'sleep 5 ; service stunnel restart' > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null & /bin/bash -c 'sleep 7 ; service postfix restart' > /dev/null 2>&1 < /dev/null & ... All things which at one time or another failed to start correctly, and I also have the opposite - a script to fix things before actually rebooting so systemd won't hang forever at reboot: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088619#c23 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
