As a guy who packages and maintains Hylafax+ for suse, https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=HylaFAX%2B&project=home%3Aaljex (look at all those lovely green build success...) I can tell you I don't know when if ever I'll get around to adding systemd support. If someone else does it I'll probably include it, but still I'll probably never test it first hand so won't be able to ensure it actually works right. I DO use and test the package, but in sysv init systems. Also, such fax server systems often need proprietary 3rd party init scripts for special hardware for T1/isdn/t.38/serial hardware. These are universally sysv init scripts that have to work on solaris and hpux and unixware and open server and freebsd etc etc etc as well as linux. Often they are also long since abandoned and no longer updated by the manufacturers, or the manufacturers no longer even exist. The hardware still works and the serial and telephony standards haven't changed to make the hardware obsolete, and copies of the last official software support downloads exist and still work, but it's not legal for anyone to update them to systemd and repackage and redistribute them even if someone wanted to. You'd have to develop a download-and-modify script and distribute that for each individual thing. Multiply that times 40 zillion other software and yet systemd pushers are not guilty of screwing things up.... -- bkw On 4/4/2012 9:11 AM, Steven wrote:
Thanks, I will wait to see if someone can adapt hylafax(faxgetty) to systemd. i do not not need any future hiccups. It is a working server nfs, egroupware, openfire just to name a few. This is my server for my and my wife's business. Steven

How do put back to SysVInit permanent? I know about the press F5 and select systemv. The change is only for that boot. There are two methods. One is published in the 12.1 release notes that you should read. Another is, once you booted wit the F5 trick, look at what

Will swiching to SysVInit affect anything else? It might. If not now, in the future.
Somebody here should know how to adapt hylafax to systemd. You already wrote a service file, adding it to the system should be easy. Wait a bit.
