[systemd-devel] Q: Difference between AssertPathExists and ConditionPathExists?

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

When reading the manual page systemd.unit(5), I'm not quite sure what the difference between AssertPathExists and ConditionPathExists is:

(Condition)
If the specified absolute path name does not exist, the condition will fail.

Vs.

(Assert)
However, unlike the conditions settings, any assertion setting that is not met results
in failure of the start job it was triggered by.
----
What does that mean effectively?
