https://bbs.archlinux.org – Have a look at the man page for tmpfiles.d, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you're looking for as far as sticking values into files in sysfs on boot.  Also, in general you can stick '/bin/sh -c' in as the ExecStart to do whatever you want, including echoing things and redirecting it into files, and chain them together with a semicolon in between.  For a silly example:[Unit] Description=Test echoing into files [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo "It works" > /home/rob/testfile' ; /bin/sh -c 'echo "like a char (HowTos)

If there are those who share my dilemna, I have found a not elegant hack which will keep sasc-ng alive until it truly is initiated by systemd itself. This works with both the open-sasc-ng and open-sasc-dkms AUR packages.1) If on a new intall, install latest version of initscripts. It's no longer installed by default2) Create a rc-local.service file and put it in /etc/systemd/system.

I doubt it is a locale issue - it sounds like something is echoing an escape code.  Try the first of the following two commands at a functioning terminal to see if it reliably recreates the issue.  If it does, the second (which you'll have to type "blindly") will fix it:echo -e "\033(0" echo -e "\033(B"If that is in fact the problem then you need to fig

Now I want to change the "&" to "&" so I run: -bash-3.2$ echo "P&G" | sed -e "s/&/&/ig" P&G

I got the result I want, but if someone runs the conversion program again,
