Hi,

Currently, attempting to start service x when it was disable gives
something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
herd: error: impossible to start service x
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

while the actual root cause is that the service has been disabled.

The error should probably just print something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
herd: error: service x is disabled; run 'herd enable x' to enable it
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
Maxim

This is fixed on the ‘devel’ branch (commit
796324279c86ba40a8a88505fcbbe3f6568ed7ba):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ herd stop pulseaudio-rtp-sink 
$ herd disable pulseaudio-rtp-sink 
Disabled service pulseaudio-rtp-sink.
$ herd start pulseaudio-rtp-sink 
Service pulseaudio-rtp-sink is currently disabled.
herd: error: failed to start service pulseaudio-rtp-sink
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
