Mender-convert enables systemd even with MENDER_ENABLE_SYSTEMD="n"

I’m running mender in standalone mode and have the following set in the mender-convert config:

MENDER_ENABLE_SYSTEMD="n"

But in the resultant image, if I do

sudo systemctl --no-pager status mender-authd.service mender-client.service mender-data-dir.service mender-grow-data.service mender.service mender-updated.service

I find that mender-authd.service and mender-updated.service are running. Why?

They are not needed for my standalone usecase (right??) which is simply

mender-update install file.mender
reboot
mender-update commit

Any easy way to stop all systemd services?

Hi @user706,

Thanks for reaching out, you actually found a bug after a change in the installation process of the Mender Client in mender-convert. We are tracking it at Jira.

Greetz,
