For that I would say those that use systemd shall suffer from the complexity they chose. That this is in a c-file, not an easily changed shell- skript, already explains quite a bit of what is wrong with systemd. So fixing this goes something like this: - create a patch for the c-code - recompile and reinstall systemd - and maintain your patch forever Pity. With a sane init system, it would just be a change to some shell-skript, i.e. 2 minutes with a text editor. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
