(Though I could be wrong please correct me if I'm wrong.)_ That's for sure because unless systemd is rewritten I won't ever be using it. Looks like the reply confused you as the response did me, the original mail was saying what software will break without running systemd and that's what I was interested in. Some have mentioned consolekit but that's not even close to a requirement for 99% of users except maybe enterprise. Note, udisks removed highly used by almost all functions for enterprise functions no one used as a priority. Some others like polkit have been mentioned, none of which have been allowed to have any extra rights on my systems for a while. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
