The online documentation is surprisingly lacking on this. thanks, Marco -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Just to be sure I understood everything: 1) is a syntax like this (normal shell script) OK for script.sh or is there any special rule in these cases? Is exit OK at the end? # #! /bin/bash modprobe radeon echo IGD /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch echo OFF /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch exit # 2) shouldn't I put yourservice.service in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants instead? 3) in /etc/systemd and its subfolders there is no file called prefdm.service. Is this OK? 4) where is all this documented anyway? thanks, Marco -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
