Systemd programming part 2: activation and language issues

Great articles - thanks.

You have performed a near miracle in getting NFS to work within systemd-ese. I have struggled to get my Gentoo laptop running everything correctly for similar reasons that you mention but alas I lack your insight and skills (I can manage man pages but the source makes my eyes bleed)

That said, it works really well and I binned OpenRC on it a few months ago. I also find the short descriptive units easy to get on with. In many cases nearly all the same functionality of the original takes a few simple lines rather than the monster rc scripts. Plus socket/port activation means that I only start stuff when I use it, which is really nice and a lot neater than using xinetd.

Again, thanks for explaining some concepts that I was struggling with.

Cheers
Jon
