diplo[Timer]15:27
diploOnBootSec=5min or something15:27
diploStart 5mins after boot15:27
foobarryhmm i want to start after a service is up15:30
foobarrylike 2 mins after GPFS is running15:30
diploI think you can do that to, give me abit and I'll take a look15:46

diploSo something like After=network.target gvfs.target ?15:59
diploOr is that still to soon ?15:59
