I'm working on updating the test in t7900-maintenance.sh, but I might be missing something here:

Show 9 quoted lines

Do I understand correctly that this means we're not actually running systemctl here, just printing the arguments to our file ?

The rest of the systemd tests only check that the service file are in XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which should not be the case anymore.

However, the test does not actually check we have enabled and started the timers as it is , right ?

Should I add that ? I'm not sure how, because it does not seem like the tests run in a isolated env, so it would mess with the systemd user manager of the developper running the tests...

Regarding systemd-analyze verify, do the tests have access to the source directory in a special way, or is using '../..' enough ?

Thanks
