Dependencies are added to target for units that it pulls. Not other way round. > /lib/systemd/system/noip.service:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/dnscache.service:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/tinydns.service:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/remote-fs.target:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/ziproxy.service:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/ejabberd.service:Requires=network.target > /lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.service:Requires=network.target I tentatively think that these should be either After or Requisite. Do you really want to start network every time one of those services gets started (assuming there were reasons to have network stopped at this moment)? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
