I think that's pretty OK already. Hm, but the message may be misleading, and in fact I think it is, most of the time. I mean, I tried to use tmpfiles.d as a replacement for a rc.local script that does "echo BLA > file", and I think most users have the same usecase. Fortunately, 'echo BLA > file' doesn't try to be smarter than you and detect possible conflicts (e.g., when you use multiple echo's to the same file). On a related note, I liked the idea of the new 'W' parameter for a DWIM version.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
