[systemd-devel] Persistent timers delay Type=idle units

[Thomas Bächler]

According to [1], when a persistent timer runs its service on boot, it
delays startup. That itself isn't a problem, but it delays Type=idle
units, in particular, agetty at tty1.service, prohibiting login until it
finishes.

I hooked up OnCalendar=daily/Persistent=true timers to Type=oneshot
units that may take a few seconds to run. Obviously, I'd rather have the
getty service not wait for those on boot.

I can't think of a proper solution now, any ideas?
