I am running an Arch Linux (latest, up-to-date) box, and attempting to get MySQL to start at boot. With the systemd package installed I have systemctl available, and as such I can do things like this:
systemctl start mysqld.service
systemctl [stop|status|restart] mysqld.service
That's all fine, and works great when I want to start/stop manually, however, when it comes to getting it to start at boot (by using 'enable' on systemctl, I get some nasty output):
[root@rudivarch ~]# systemctl enable mysqld.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
Obviously, since the other commands work just fine, I'm seriously confused by this and have spent a good while trying to figure it out... systemctl status outputs this:
[root@rudivarch ~]# systemctl status mysqld.service
mysqld.service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/mysqld)
Active: inactive (dead) since Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:32:28 +0000; 1min 25s ago
Process: 589 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/mysqld stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 257 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/mysqld start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysqld.service
Anybody have any ideas as to why 'enable' doesn't work?
