Tue Oct 14 11:48:47 BST 2014

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: normal

I try to enable atop service on a system, but it does not work like this:

merkaba:~> systemctl daemon-reload
merkaba:~> systemctl status atop
● atop.service - advanced system & process monitor
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/atop.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Di 2014-10-14 12:34:18 CEST; 5min ago

Is from atop 2.1 debian packaging currently as work in progress:

https://github.com/teamix/atop-debian

On another system with identical service file it works however:

I will add both failing and working strace.
