Agreed that the user must know if a serial port GPS is present. That is the same with many devices. But if the user knows there is a serial port GPS and would like it enabled, there is no current mechanism to do so. Each user must make their own startup script. The forum link in another reply to this thread was about that. Maybe the result of that thread can be systemd logic for this that can be added to the gpsd package that can optionally be enabled by a user. In many cases it will effect the ntp startup as well since the two daemons can cooperate. I know that there is startup logic for ntp provided, but I have not checked if it is systemd or init.d On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 2:30 PM, Andrei Borzenkov <arvidjaar@gmail.com> wrote:

But is seems a bit odd to only start it automatically for a certain class of devices and do nothing at all for another class.
USB devices can be auto-discovered so there is no point to start something if device is not present. Serial devices cannot, so it is up to user to know they are there and start programs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
