Bug#770633: systemd: Suggestion for a method to handle multiple providers of the same service
Le 22/11/2014 21:25, Andrei POPESCU a écrit : Package: systemd Version: 215-6 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hello, I think systemd needs a method to deal with multiple providers of the same service that under usual circumstances (i.e. default configuration) can't run at the same time, e.g. display managers. Here's what I came up with, as possible addition to systemd.unit(5) --- [INSTALL] SECTION OPTIONS AlternativeFor= The name of a service this unit provides, of which there might be several providers that can't (under normal circumstances) run at the same time. At installation time systemctl enable will only create symlinks from this name to the unit filename, with the same suffix as this unit. This option implies a Conflicts= against all other providers of the same service. --- I think this would be quite simple to implement and is generic enough to be used for all kinds of services. Hey, See my answer on bug #764607, I think the Alias permits us to achieve this, in a same way we have alternatives. Then, it requires that the target Wants=this alternative though.
