Try to not get in too many battles at once. Whether you like it or not there are still a lot of programs that *assume* init scripts are available and things can be done there, and not just setting environment variables. Also you can't assume something can be always deferred at connection time. We have a bug open with CUPS trying to generate SSL certs on the first connections, being too slow and causing the client to timeout. So no, you can't make assumptions here. > Note that if admins want to change the parameters passed to daemons > they have a very easy way to do that in systemd: they can just copy > the rpm-owned service file from /lib/systemd/system into > /etc/systemd/systemd and then make their changes.

So you are just re-invented sysconfig ? sysconfig was added exactly so that admins could change configurations without touching init scripts so that rpm updates would be able to deploy new init scripts without blowing away customizations. Why re-inventing the wheel here ? Simo. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
