Many thanks for the offer of help, not having to wade into the intricacies of systemd is a big win for me. The current arrangements are "something which was made to work without big code changes" so I'm not wedded to using the dbus method at all, and most installations of dnsmasq won't need dbus, so removing the compulsory dependency is good. That eliminates option one. Of two or three, I'm not sure and I'll take your advice. Two needs no code changes and adds no dependencies, and that's good, but if there are advantanges to going with three, then I can handle that by making the libdbus code conditionally compiled. Cheers, Simon.
