Just for completeness for anyone following along and needs to deal with multi-instance init take a look at the systemd.unit manpage specifically the paragraph starting with "Optionally, units may be instantiated from a template file at runtime." There is a description of the multi-instance syntax and an enumeration of the available template variables such as %i and %I which the existing getty multi-instance examples use. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
