Yup, ask questions here, but make sure you've read up on the various
articles and documentation and such like on
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd first :)
Thanks, I've read a lot but nowhere did I find pointers to do what I
need to do. So I thought I would just try to understand the process
of getting to "single-user" mode. I expected that I would be able
to look at /lib/systemd/system/single.target for a starting point
but it's just a link to /dev/null? I was then lost....
So I just created a test target that I expected/hoped would just
start a single mingetty on tty1. It did do that but I also got
agettys on ttys 2-6. I also got some unwanted Console-Kit and Polkit
stuff running that I also do not want or need. Again, I'm trying to
understand how to create a run-level under which everything running
is controlled by me.
systemd does not require CK, but some legacy software still pulls it
in. On Fedora 17 all major components have been updated not to require
CK anymore, but if you install KDE or some other less modern system it
is still pulled in.
Note that we strongly encourage everybody to use agetty instead of
mingetty. agetty is vastly more powerful, better tested and uses less
runtime memory than mingetty. agetty is part of util-linux and hence
installed anyway, while mingetty is a package of its own. Due to that
you will end up having more work and wasting more disk space and runtime
memory by using mingetty.
However, if you really want to use mingetty, then consider editing
[email protected] and change the agetty path in there.
Well, I just assumed, obviously incorrectly the opposite, and mingetty
has been the default in a Suse dist. This is really just an exercise for
me to understand how to do what I've been doing in sysvinit all along.
I'll keep agetty in mind then.
My /etc/systemd/system/test.target file
Description=TEST run-level-4 target
[email protected]
DefaultDependencies=no
DefaultDependencies=no should not be necessary for a normal target.
AllowIsolate=yes
[Install]
Alias=test.target
You already have the file name of "test.target", hence an installed
alias of "test.target" makes little sense.
Thanks for the pointers. I guess I need to read more of the doc.
Regards
Mark
