Description Oleksii Shevchuk 2012-10-31 09:07:00 UTC

As for now, to validate unit I must do daemon-reload and check logs. It would be better to have offline feature in systemctl, or something implemented in that way

Comment 1 Michael Scherer 2013-05-11 10:27:27 UTC

I concur, this would make perfect sense in checking tools like rpmlint. I tried to use the .ini parser module of python, but the .include doesn't go well with it, and I am not really happy to have to keep a growing list of all configuration option duplicated in python code.

Comment 2 Michael Stapelberg 2013-06-13 20:30:43 UTC

Agreed, I’d love to see systemctl work without systemd running.

This would be useful in Debian where we need to run systemd-specific commands on machines which are (not yet) running systemd, e.g. to enable service files after installing them.

Added in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=8b835fccda and follow-up commits.
