[systemd-devel] EXT :Re: Systemd dependencies

[Boyce, Kevin P [US] (AS)]

I'm sure Redhat has implemented some services of type Simple.

However, my service is oneshot, and what you're saying is there's no way for me to force any other service to wait until my service exits before bootup continues?

This doesn't seem right given that systemd can wait for a password to unlock encrypted volumes.

because you likely have some "Type=simple" stuff instead foking/notify which don't ait for anything in your chain and no additional targets can fix that _______________________________________________
