[gentoo-accessibility] Adding -q to brltty with systemd

[Keith Wessel]

Hi, all,

 

Back in the OpenrC days, I added -q to my brltty start-up to suppress the
various messages from brltty to the display, in particular the version
number at start-up.

 

I tried doing this with Systemd today by creating
/etc/system/system/brltty.service.d/quiet-start.conf. The file had only the
service section and, in it, a copy of the ExecStart line from the service
file under /usr/lib/system/system. Turns out silly Systemd interpreted that
as two ExecStart lines which isn't what I wanted and, of course, kept the
service from starting.

 

I'd rather not modify the service file under /usr. It'll only get clobbered
with upgrades. Is there a brltty.conf setting that enables quiet mode? Or a
different system service file keyword to tell it to use only my ExecStart
command-line or to add additional options to the ExecStart line from the
distributed config?

 

I figure I can ask on the brltty list on the system Gentoo forum, but I
thought I'd start here.

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Keith
