Before systemd/systemctl came along I just used to say "chkconfig openvpn on". I'm just asking why I can't do the equivalent today?
As far as I know, one can "systemctl enable" every other service.
how often do we start this discussion how did yu enable DIFFERENT openvpn-connections before systemd?
I only had (and have) one openvpn service, so the issue didn't arise.
I assume anyone running more than one openvpn service (a tiny minority, I imagine) would realise they had to take steps to deal with this.
why do you no simply create ION file to do what you like?
Because I didn't know what an ION file was until you gave an example.)
Basically, I don't like to change the default system more than is absolutely necessary, as I have little confidence in my ability to understand the implications.
