Reproducible: Always

modemmanager init script

The attached works for me.

3 years and counting.  I'm still using the attached exactly as is ... and it's working well for me.

I get that this is aimed primarily at desktop environments, eg, gnome, but we've got this deployed even in certain remote server locations where init scripts are really useful, as evident by the fact that a systemd file is included.

What's the point of having here a init script? Could you explain for me a scenario?
Comment 4 Jaco Kroon 2021-03-02 06:32:39 UTC
No X.  No Gnome.  I believe it was explained in comment 2.

There is already a systemd unit file which should testify to the usefulness.

As stated, remote servers, so need a way of starting (and stopping) modemmanager if and when modems gets plugged in and removed.  This just makes that easier.  This is a daemon after all, and as such, should be managed accordingly.
