Though you seem to want systemd to start things in the same order each time and have it be predictable, that&#x27;s pretty impossible. Systemd works more on the basis of &quot;this happened; what should be done now?&quot;.<p>Seems adding something to record how it started things and why it did so would help quite a bit. There&#x27;s some debug mode where it limits how much it starts at once. Then some way to visualize this easily (not just a GUI&#x2F;picture).
