I can't make systemd itself work, but I've been using an outside systemd solution for a while now: I setup an alias for the "reboot" command that arranges to kill off all the things systemd unreasonably waits for, then does a real reboot. Since systemd now has nothing to stop it, it reboots rather fast (until something new shows up which I have to track down and add to my list :-). My current set of things to do before shutdown includes: umount -l -t nfs -a apachectl -k stop kill all the "user deamon" process trees. The user daemon stuff is handled by a program described here: http://tomhorsley.com/game/punch.html Of course, since (according to the systemd biggest myths page) systemd is easy to script and not at all confusing, then it should be trivial for me to script things so shutdown works this way automatically without me having to remember to run my alias in a terminal, but, alas, they don't appear to be myths at all. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
