[systemd-devel] Starting a service before any networking

[Mark Rogers]

I'm sure this is trivial but I've gone round in circles without success.

I have a script which reads from an SQLite database and generates various
system configuration files - at the moment these are dhcpcd.conf and
wpa_supplicant.conf but this might grow in future.

As such the only dependency the script has is that the filesystem is up and
running. But the script must complete before anything that the script
manages the configuration file for.

My current unit looks like this:
[Unit]
Before=networking.service
After=local-fs.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExectStart=/path/to/script

[Install]
RequiredBy=network.target

Where am I going wrong and what is the right way to do this?

I've also tried Before=network-pre.target and Wants=network-pre.target
without success - it was that not working that set me off trying to fix it.
