I think instead you can use e.g. a systemd generator: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.generator.html The generator (which can be the same binary) can then enable iscsi.service only if the directory is non-empty. (Which is making things dynamic, but all dynamic computation happens at a well-defined eraly fixed point and is acted on together thereafter) Now I'd agree this behavior is not obvious, and perhaps systemd should gain something like EnableConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= that is defined to be evaluated at the same time as generators or so, and if the conditions evaluate to false then none of the unit dependencies will be pulled in either. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
