[CentOS] systemd order help?

2017-06-12 Thread James Pearson
I'm looking into 'porting' some custom init.d scripts that are in use on 
CentOS 6 boxes for use on CentOS 7 using systemd

One particular init.d script needs to run after autofs has been started, 
but before X11 is started

I'm guessing I could use something like:

  After=autofs.service
  Before=graphical.target

Is this correct?

However, I would like to use the same systemd unit file on servers that 
won't run X - will the above work? Or is there a better/another way of 
doing this?

Thanks

You probably want "display-manager.service" instead of
"graphical.target".

You also will want "Requires=autofs.service". The distinction between
"After/Before" and "Requires" is exactly for the reason you give; the
ordering directives don't require anything, so without
display-manager.service enabled, Before=display-manager.service is just
a no-op. Actually, you might even want "BindsTo=autofs.service", which
is stronger.

Depending on your setup, you many want to look at converting your
automatic mounts into systemd mounts, and depend on that directly,
rather than on the autofs service.

Re: [CentOS] Unable to map more than 4 workspaces to keyboard shortcuts on C7.

2017-06-12 Thread Matt Scott

Hi

If you go Applications >> Utilities >> Tweak Tool >> Workspaces, you can 
set the number of workspaces.

Hi,

I have a new install of c7 with the gnome desktop. I run it with 12 
workspaces.
Normally I create the shortcuts so that ctrl+f1 maps to workspace 1 
ctrl+f2
maps to f2, etc. When I goto applications -> settings -> keyboard -> 
shortcuts

-> navigation, I only have the ability to define "Switch to workspace" 1
through 4. There does not appear to be a way to map keyboard shortcuts 
for "Switch to workspace" 5-12.


Does anyone know how I can add the ability to create shortcuts for 
workspaces

5-12?

In previous versions (c-6 and older) the number of available keyboard 
shortcuts
matched the available number of workspaces configured. I am thinking 
that there
is some file someplace that I should be able to modify to make this 
work but

so far I cannot find it.

Regards,

Thanks - that makes sense ...

It's one systemd (baby) step at a time for me at the moment - that's 
probably too much to consider :-)

Not only am I able to run Centos on my Cubie armv7s (medon and onlo are

Oh and ClearOS7 on my Windows file server.

So I basically have the same OS on all my servers.

Though I have been around *nix for 20+ years, it is not my business, and 
having one OS keeps my life simpler.

You probably want "display-manager.service" instead of
"graphical.target".

You also will want "Requires=autofs.service". The distinction between

ordering directives don't require anything, so without
display-manager.service enabled, Before=display-manager.service is just

Just one little thing to note here that many don't realise. All mounts in
the system (ie not manually via the mount command) are systemd mounts.

There's a generator that makes mount units from fstab and it is the actual
runtime mount unit that gets used.

So with things in fstab you can still have a service require something like
data.mount ... There's even a directive RequiresMountsFor to ensure that a
path is mounted before that unit is started.

Finally autofs is made even easier with systemd as all you need to do to
declare a mount autofs is x-systemd.automount in the options field and then
it'll only be mounted on demand rather than at boot.
