In relation to the 'when startup delays become bugs' thread, it occurs to me that perhaps not all packagers / devs know about one of the neater systemd capabilities: conditional service activation. You can make activation of your service conditional on a wide range of things, including: 1. The existence of a path or file 2. The fact that a file or directory actually contains something 3. The fact that a file is executable 4. The presence of a given parameter (or value of a parameter) on the kernel cmdline 5. Whether the system is a VM (and what virtualization software it's using) 6. Whether the system is on AC power 7. Whether or not SELinux is enabled 8. Whether a given capability exists It's really neat stuff, and very easy to use: you just add a Condition(Something) statement to the .service file. For details on using these conditions, see 'man systemd.unit' and just search for Condition, and you'll find a list of all the available Conditions and how to use them. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
