Sounds like a dbus bug. That said, with systemd's socket activation, this bug (if it is a bug,i never heard of it before), and many like it, would no longer be a problem. > > You probably use the inittab method [...] > Will this be an issue for him if he switches to full systemd as it has > removed inittab Yes, inittab is ignored. It would be trivial to add support for it via a generator, but I don't know of any reason to. We never really used inittab in Arch. systemd's unit files are essentially a generalisation of inittab, so mimicking it is straight forward. Cheers, Tom
