From a forum post on xbmc.org (1) I know this can be done using autofs, but I'd like to see if this can be using systemd alone. I know systemd can handle the automounting, but what about the WOL?
Is it as simple as merely providing a dependency to the specific automount service file to first do the WOL? A oneshot unit? Or perhaps part of the same unit file with ExecStartPre (if there is such a thing in a automount file)?
Any hints or tips?
Thanks,

Ok. Bad news is that "u" will break the suspend/resume on my box for some reason. It suspends fine, but once resuming, it gets stuck in a suspend / resume loop where it will wake up for a second before turning off again (rinse and repeat). Good news was that I was able to get a systemd share.mount unit working with a wol.service unit. Starting the mount unit will correctly start the wol.service unit and wake the machine using the magic packet. What I haven't got working is the automount: So far it only tries to mount the share, but not activate the wol.service unit. Perhaps the automount units also needs to depend on the wol.service? Sander
