# Some people want a finer grain over hotplug/coldplug. rc_plug_services is a
# list of services that are matched in order, either allowing or not. By
# default we allow services through as rc_coldplug/rc_hotplug has to be YES
# anyway.
# Example - rc_plug_services="net.wlan !net.*"
# This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged.
rc_plug_services=""
