Hi,

I suddenly realized that it is already past F15 Beta, soon to be gold,
and there
is that conspicuous silence about ... systemd.
For starters, let's consider my own adventures. After installing my F15 Beta for the first time, I noticed that I need
sendmail
service running for my system status e-mails. Being a bold eagle, somewhat experienced in Computer Science, I assumed I should be able to start figuring it out without studying tons of docs. So, knowing that my new universe starts with systemd, I followed my
instincts:
$ systemd --help $ systemd --test
Your instincts need tweaking. When you absolutely know a given 'thing' is made up of a single command, this is a good way to go. systemd is not such a case. You don't use the systemd executable to manage systemd, in most cases, so looking at the help for the systemd executable isn't going to tell you much.
A better entry point in this case is:
What would be a much better idea would be to just start with the project site:
I'll admit that I haven't tried F15 yet, but I will have to soon, (so that my app works under systemd (as well as the old way) including any new selinux issues I may get.)
But I would be starting my search for help information with 'man systemd' and failing that... 'apropos systemd' and would hope to find all of the basic information there. I wonder what I will find :-)
