          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 73290
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Make linking an instance service to a non-instance
                    name possible
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: calimeroteknik at free.fr
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

** Description: **

Say we have /etc/systemd/system/mydisplaymanager at .service, that contains:
[Install]
Alias=display-manager.service

I would find very useful that such a thing would work:

# systemctl enable mydisplaymanager at myuser.service
ln -sf '/etc/systemd/system/mydisplaymanager at myuser.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service'

The use case here is pretty obvious: it's a user-bound login manager.



** Present situation: **
# systemctl enable mydisplaymanager at myuser.service
ln -sf '/etc/systemd/system/mydisplaymanager at .service'
'/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service'

I tried creating the symlink by hand:
# ln -sf '/etc/systemd/system/mydisplaymanager at myuser.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service'

And:
# systemctl status display-manager.service
display-manager.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Adrive: inactive (dead)


Looking forward to this feature in v209!
