Wait, do you mean versus putting WantedBy= into the unit? That depends on packaging policy. RPM packaging policy is to not have services start by default, so I'd recommend using WantedBy= so systemd computes the dependencies at the time the administrator enables the service -- if she enables it at all. > If service A needs services B and C to > work, they should be installed as /usr/lib/systemd/A.wants, so starting > A also transparently starts them. If service A *needs* B and C, then service A should use Requires= and possibly After= for B and C, not "wants." A "want" in system still allows the transaction to complete even with dependency failure. We generally use "wants" for startup and shutdown targets so the system can still boot to those stages even with a service failing. -- David Strauss | da...@davidstrauss.net | +1 512 577 5827 [mobile] _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
