If you can provide any help, that'll be nice.
So a "static" service is: The state will usually be "enabled", "disabled", "static", or "masked". In this context, static means that the unit file does not contain an "install" section, which is used to enable a unit. As such, these units cannot be enabled. Usually, this means that the unit performs a one-off action or is used only as a dependency of another unit and should not be run by itself. Dear Debian Systemd Team, For a static service, upon package de-install, how do we ensure the service is killed. Should this be done manually and individually in a package's prerm script ? - -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEQCVDstmIVAB/Yn02pjpYo/LhdWkFAliIw84ACgkQpjpYo/Lh dWlLwhAAtikvOsCUPtwrZxd/F6+tyRCJE+R4s4uZ1S8KLLFKtCRYmm008BJidvGO Td9IqgmVYnuQkIPaN70V9R0tC+fBNad4u8pWL2QjWqwrHvJbSliqrpImqlIQqZQM y5GoUzXj+lx9xa6Yv/7/XdXB7TK1+ms5JUaTJJH+xkXX2AMmCGwbX+mFt1s1676Z z3/nQbS4Me6Q94vn64AeEWWTKwtyx+SN+Gg7Zyr8GNMIcoGuhVeP0y9Qei9DcH6P ynof5uI87ZXi6Qui5Bn7p2GsXhuvsO1I3wDw6IR2pVzwUX8LP3clhygUFbIceHKp Bezx0QhvcSB/P5tUdDhKNUkkaBqm9Ix6BO4lmWACOtckitRVxKERQaPs18P56XOH EIxswi+3BDN8alSXMdPrZbffEPbPAzcAAoKxWw6YMExYr7J+gw0PgcTOildcOzJS b/dH1Af5uEKS9UEpkcjR0MizNX4HZ0pnx+E8YEtDrl98TmEbwNqvCXQQZStleJPG DTgr02raku+onbAaPb5ylLoa6cnjomxfcaCYh4gPktXAxSaAh2CF502j1GLSHIXc mkqKKKi9BRcG6+XEM2mvjHSGIJlpJqBrvEZ13TZ16TlSPZySOPY9dtT058SJQL/i 2yEa0oaHpHldKs+xnMP5AoMcUuy1M2ShY1CxBChDRkEj015GOUw= =hBvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
