[arch-projects] [netctl] KillMode in netctl{,@}.service
Hi, I am wondering what's the purpose of KillMode=none in netctl.service and netctl@.service. Is it an artifact of some sort? I think it's better to not include a KillMode line (so the default KillMode=control-group is used) because then systemd would clean processes left by "network stop" (should there be any)...

Yes, it goes back to a netcfg bug: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148374

I agree. Have you tested it without the KillMode line? In particular for netctl.service (network (re)store) the KillMode=none line is semantically correct. Nevertheless, I am in favor of dropping it if we don't need it. Regards, - Jouke
