So how does one convince systemd to be a polite little abomination, and kindly keep its tentacles the hell off of my property? It is my box, my wishes really should be honored by the (alleged) servants therein. It's nice that systemd offers group scheduling, it does have it's uses, but not so nice that it forces that overhead upon me whether I want to pay the feature price or not (not to mention that other liabilities are also part and parcel thereof), which it appears to do. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
