255

Used distribution

Arch Linux

Linux kernel version used

6.9.1.arch1-1

CPU architectures issue was seen on

x86_64

Component

systemd

Expected behaviour you didn't see

Clear documentation for "Before=, After=" section of systemd.unit(5) man page.

Unexpected behaviour you saw

The third paragraph of the "Before=, After=" section of systemd.unit(5) ends with this sentence:

Note that this does includes ExecStartPost= (or ExecStopPost= for the shutdown case).

This is not proper English and also is ambiguous. I think it should say:

  • "Note that this does not include ...", or
  • "Note that this includes...".

Steps to reproduce the problem

man 5 systemd.unit

Additional program output to the terminal or log subsystem illustrating the issue
