Etc. Hello Panu, Zbyszek, Thank you for the pointer but you spoiled all the fun I expected for next Monday's RTFM session ;-( That being said, I still have more research to do because while this works fine in Fedora, I'll need to get it working across more systemd distributions, most of them not of the Fedora lineage... So I guess I still have a big lump of "fun" ahead of me. Happy new year and thanks again!
