For outdated tools, we can add running dbus oriented service into running script, like OpenOffice will automatically starts CUPS service on startup, but when OO will be integrated too, we will remove automatically start of CUPS from script. Use Case: Mathew is running VirtualBox installed from standard repository. After run PolicyKit will asks to password to load VirtualBox kernel modules. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Actually many programs will need more dbus oriented service starting. VirtualBox will need load additional module. Actually many services started unnecessary, when it should start on dbus activation(with enhancement of policykit). We can add start of CUPS command to script starting our program. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311246

Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-10-03 22:16:59) There is no automatic way to determine whether a kernel module is "safe" to be unloaded (without suddenly removing functionality). + #2: Johannes Meixner (jsmeix) (2012-01-19 12:51:01) + Via systemd you can start cupsd only when a process actually wants to + access it (e.g. only when you actually want to print from an + application). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311246
