So, with systemD the administrator has lost the power to choose the runleves a service runs?
Yes, pretty much that same way that porpoises have lost the ability to farm corn and beans. "runlevels" is about as meaningful with systemD as corn and beans farming is to a porpoise. Its a completely different context; runlevels don't exist any more as a concept under SystemD. Services and groups of services do. If you want to think of it that way, there was a group of services that ran under runlevel 3 and a group that ran under runlevel 5 and if you drew a Venn diagram there was overlap. In the file there was sometimes a description of what the runlevels meant .... single user ... multi user ... networking ... GUI ... Focus in the services not the number. To use systemd effectively you've got to let go of the runlevel concept. -- One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it's all right not to know anything. That to me is far more dangerous than a little pornography on the Internet. - Carl Sagan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
