This depends on how the system works. In the pre-systemd setups MM was DBus-activated by NetworkManager on boot, but in all new setups using systemd the ModemManager process is managed via a systemd service so the lifecycle of the process is that of a system daemon. It would probably be wise to stop talking about DBus activation for MM I assume, we should update the docs. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
