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.
I think this remark shows very cleanly why so many *feel* that there is something wrong with the systemd concept. May be it has some merits over sysinit, but:
It contradicts KISS. "atd" (or any other daemon) should do what it is designed for. If any init system wants to start it, it has to deal with "at", *not* the other way round. To me what you call "ideally" sounds just like a wrong way.
Well, this has nothing to do with systemd actually. Looks like at some point in time someone decided that atd should be configurable via sysconfig. The person decided to do it via shell hacks as it was quite common to do it that way back then. It's a good thing to get rid of such hacks and patch the features into daemon itself anyways, indepedent of whether or not systemd is used for booting. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
