You're right - I was mistaken and it all works. Just for the record, the reason I was testing this is because I wanted agetty to update its display of /etc/issue whenever the networking changed so IP addresses would be updated. My setup is using networkd and I have the following systemd units: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/systemd-networkd-change.path: [Unit] Description=Update getty on network changes DefaultDependencies=no Requisite=systemd-networkd.service Before=systemd-networkd.service [Path] PathChanged=/run/systemd/netif/state [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd-change.service: [Unit] Description=Update getty on network changes DefaultDependencies=no Conflicts=shutdown.target [Service] Type=oneshot # sleep is needed if watching the state file because it changes too soon ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 0.5s ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/agetty --reload The only snag is that the display goes weird when the console is blanked and an update happens but that could be a VMware bug. -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
