Re: JADP - systemd, gpsd

Huh. I assume there's no downside to turning on the '-n' option?

The thing about systemd is that it presents you with this:

When all you asked for is this:

But the 'upside' is that telling it to just do the latter is reasonably 
straightforward, particularly since most  such startup files are similarly 
simple, so you can just cut & paste your way to success. The rest is just 
bloated snake oil you can ignore in 99.995% of use-cases.
