Seven times. How lucky!

Heh.

Thank you, Michael.

Do you think it's better just force the shutdown than to rummage around 
in the service unit files? I'm loath to edit system configuration files 
unless it's to configure something like smartmontools or some such -- 
you know, something that is more ordinarily edited in order to get it to 
do some specific job.

I guess that argument could apply to service units, but I'm not used to 
this stuff, yet.

Thanks again,
JP
