kernel process in question is nfsd. The number of thread is kept in /proc/fs/nfsd/threads. So the idea would be doing a systemctl status nfsd and number in /proc/fs/nfsd/threads is zero the service would be deactive. An non-zero number the service would active. Is this something systemd could be used for? tia, steved. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
