  • RHEL 7 systemd default.target question

    Posted on

    Freshly installed minimal RHEL 7 system.

    Systemd default target information seems to be in conflict.

    I look at the symlink(s):

    [root@bpb7a ~]# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/default.target
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Jun 30 13:42 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target

    [root@bpb7a ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/default.target
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Jun 30 13:40 /usr/lib/systemd/system/default.target -> graphical.target

    I ask systemctl:

    [root@bpb7a ~]# systemctl get-default
    multi-user.target

    So, /etc rules, as it should. But what's going on in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ ... Any thoughts as on the disparity?

    Thanks,

    Brian
