[systemd-devel] systemctl disable <service> not working as expected

[Belal, Awais]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the very quick reply :)
So, are you saying that there is no guaranteed way in which PA can be enabled/disabled in a systemd based system?  That too, if I want to keep the binary in so if a user needs he can enable/disable PA as per need. How can I disable PA in such a scenario?

BR,
Awais

Note that the pulseaudio daemon is commonly be auto-spawned from the
library (libpulse) from the user session. It's not very common to
enable a system-wide daemon with the .service file. So presumably it's
just from that?
