the date is mostly irrelevant as the systemctl *commands* are part of the "stability promise" so that instructions still hold valid,
That's true, but its not why I mentioned the date of the posting. I mentioned it because I wanted to emphasise that this information has been available for public consumption for a long time. I don't want to be though of as an unhelpful bigot who keeps yelling 'RTFM" and "Go Google". heck, I missed that reference to 'mask' when paging though the systemctl man page, so yes, despite all rumours to the contrary I'm as fallible as the rest of the people here. Perhaps I've been RTFM too long and trying to jam in some more is causing back-pressure resistance ... that, sclerosis of the eyeballs or .. what was that word beginning with "A that you mentioned, Patric? But I'm battling on, so I'm only guilty of "oh, I missed that". Its not as if that series - 'systemd for sysadmins' - is hard to find. Or maybe its that I've got a Fedora system bumming around here somewhere and systemd "just worked" there. Well they don't have Yast so I never tried using yast and went straight to systemctl so when I came to openSUSE and systemd I didn't use Yast for systemd things either. Despite that, I feel more "at home" with openSUSE than with Fedora. Lets face it, Lennart has done a good job. Over my career I've seen some ace coders, but few, very few of them, document what they do. I don't mean just the in-line comments and the basic command line options, but document their design decisions point, produce the documentation about application, produce all the support that Lennart has done. Not only is systemd more coherent than the collection of scripts that made up sysvinit (and its BSD and Solaris counterparts), its more thoroughly documented and those documents are easier to find. One reason I quoted the "Myths" part of the series was that it seems some mis-information ("myths") it seems will not die. -- Lead and inspire people. Don't try to manage and manipulate people.
