It exists for _shutdown_ ordering, and should be used for services that don't need to wait for the network to start, but might hang or act badly if the network vanishes underneath them. This is pretty obscure, really. Most things should use network-online.target if they really need the network to be up; even better, of course, is software that can start whenever and adapt. If you find something using network.target when it should use network-online.target, please file a bug and set it as blocking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=network-online.target -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
