I don't think the above is in the spirit of systemd. Ideally atd would parse /etc/sysconfig/atd itself¹ and set it's defaults accordingly. Using shell for this kind of things is one of the reasons why init scrips became such beasts.
The main issue here is the usage of this wonderful invention called sysconfig, which is really a hack for software whose authors were too lazy to include a basic configuration file. ;)
I don't have any reasons for a biased opinion either way, but it seems to me that you could also argue that this kind of laziness is *good*, i.e. the authors were too lazy to reinvent a wheel, and that the consistent location and format of config files it results in is an advantage which can then be harnessed by things like yast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
