> No, everything linked to a <unit>.wants/ directory immediately becomes a Wants= dep of <unit> and is therefore "enabled", it doesn't matter whether that .wants/ is in /etc or /usr/lib or /run. To confirm this, I created the following files: $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/infinite-tsukuyomi.service [Unit] Description=Infinite Tsukuyomi [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep infinity $ ls -al /usr/lib/systemd/user/multi-user.target.wants/infinite-tsukuyomi.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 18 08:45 /usr/lib/systemd/user/multi-user.target.wants/infinite-tsukuyomi.service -> ../infinite-tsukuyomi.service And rebooted the machine. The service didn't start. But starts manually if I tell it to. Is there anything I'm missing here? Regards, Yuri
