As per the systemd documentation, there is a DBus method called MaskUnitFiles but
when I try from busctl command-line, neither does it work, nor does auto-completion show this call!
$ sudo busctl call org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1/unit/my_2dsvc_2eservice org.freedesktop.systemd1.Unit <TAB>
Kill Reload ReloadOrTryRestart Restart Start TryRestart
Ref ReloadOrRestart ResetFailed SetProperties Stop Unref
I tried :
busctl --system call org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1/unit/getty_40tty1_2eservice MaskUnitFiles asbb /lib/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service false false
And get the error:
Failed to create bus message: Invalid argument
Not sure which argument is incorrect! what I am missing here?
In this particular case, for mask option, I can probably directly symlink the
unit file name to /dev/null. But IMHO, the DBus method [if works] is uniform and cleaner.
Thanks.
