How to stop the creation of /home on reboot?

I assume it's systemd creating /home since I never had this situation with arch init scripts.   Maybe it's something else?
I will delete /home and upon reboot it will return.
I do not use /home and do not like standard user hierarchy and am tired of looking at the empty folder every startup.
If this is indeed systemd (I'm not too familiar with it yet since I only updated to it about a month ago), does anyone know the related .service or .target (etc) doing this?  I tried searching for /home inside the files but so far no luck.  I did 'grep' and there are binary matches but not much I can do about that.  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.  /usr/lib/systemd, /etc/systemd/, /usr/lib/udev
Feels like the appropriate section to post this.  I'm rarely online so was hoping to throw this out there and hope to get an answer in the right direction.  Thanks.
EDIT:  Sorry if a similar thread exists.. I couldn't find any as it has rather vague keywords.

Yeah, the /home folder is empty because I do not use it and no users $HOME are pointing there.  I also have my XDG settings pointing elsewhere, so that can't be it.
When I get home I'll try modifying the useradd file but not sure if that will do it.  Although, I wonder if it's reading from another system login type file that defaults to /home..
or perhaps it's just creating a standard filesystem hierarchy.  Hmm!!
I would resort to deleting it with a script at boot-up but since I don't use /home and it doesn't have a separate partition it writes to my / partition which is a Solid State Drive.
I know having it created and deleted at each boot may seem trivial but I like to avoid unnecessary writes/deletes on the SSD no matter how insignificant it may seem.
Also, I just really want to find out where this is coming from.  I do my best to know what my setup is doing and hate not knowing why something keeps happening. 
So, I'm still probing to where the creation stems from.  I wish there was some system monitor or journalctl would tell me more specifically what systemd is doing.  Maybe I'll delete it and check timestamps and match against systemd service files being ran?  May take some time but at least it's something to try.

  • How to stop the creation of Downloads directory in My Documents

    There was a thread on this topic, which, AFAICT, was erroneously marked "solved." We all know how to change the default download setting, via tools --> options --> general -->. The problem is, regardless of where one designates one's downloads, a Downloads folder is still created in My Documents every time we start up Firefox. I don't want this folder to be created. How can I stop it?

    Windows ''may'' be recreating this. I always download to the deasktop but on both my XP and Vista computers I have that directory, though I've never used it, and have deleted it on both systems. (It was on the XP system even before I installed Firefox.)

  • How to stop the call summary display on home screen?

    How to stop the call summary display on home screen?

    Here are the solutions I can think of (if no one here responds with something better):
    1. Open Settings and then Phone within the Settings screen and see if you can find a setting there for the call summary. The Phone submenu under Settings would be the most likely place.
    2. Open Settings on your iPhone and go through each item including all of the items within each main item. Within about 10 minutes you should be able to get through all of the settings and find the setting if it exists on your phone. There is no such setting on my phone but it is possible that Airtel has a custom menu with that.
    3. If you still haven't found it, you could check a) Airtel's support site and/or b) an Airtel specific forum.
    4. If still no luck, I would call Airtel and ask again and if you get the same response ask for the location of the setting (or to speak to someone who can tell you).
    Good luck.

  • How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor?

    Hello Experts,
    We have following scenario for breakdown maintenance activities.
    When a machine breaks down, a breakdown order is created in SAP. The external manintenance services are planned in the order. When the order is released, a single PR (with multiple item numbers corresponding to number of services) is created by SAP. The PR has a release strategy. When PR is released, PO is created followed by the SES.
    The practice followed AS -IS for breakdown outside business hours:- If the breakdown happens outside business working hours, the person releasing the PRs is not available & hence PR can not be released resulting in no PO & no subsequent SES.
    In this case, the maintenance is completed by the external agency & the work order is TECO. The next day, TECO is reveresed, new PR is created, released, converted into PO, & then SES.
    TO-BE process:- Client expects that, for certain vendors identified, PR should not get created at all from the breakdown order. (The list of  vendors will be maintained seperately). For these vendors, a framework order will be created at the start of fiscal year & SES will be created as & when required agaainst the framework order.
    My concern is :- How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor? OR delete the created PR?
    Highly appreciate your quick response.
    Thank you.

    Dear Amit
    I am giving a different dimension to your question check if it fulfills your requirement -
    As we know Vendor selection comes at a later stage only after your PR creation, approval & RFQ etc. & PR generation from maintaine. order is controllled through control key PM03.  While triggering PR from order you have to specify Material group, Purchase group and vendor. Try to control it through authorisation as all these are authorisation objects. The persons executing breakdown order shall no t be given this authoriations

  • How to block the creation of a Sales Orders without a linked Purchase Order

    Hi. I'm trying to block the creation of a Sales Order that doesn't have a linked Purchase Order. The first thing I did is using the SBO Transaction Notification as follows:
    IF  @transaction_type = 'A' AND @object_type='17'
    BEGIN
         IF (SELECT PoPrss FROM ORDR WHERE DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del) = 'N'
         BEGIN
              SET @error = 1
              SET @error_message = 'Purchase Order Missing...'
         END
    END
    This works good. I create the Sales Order, I tick the purchase order field on the logistics tab, I click Add, and then the purchase order window appears...
    Then, the problem begins... If I click the Cancel button, the purchase order is obviously not created, but the Sales Order is created.
    Can someone tell me how to block the creation of the sales order If the user press the cancel button on the purchase order window (and the purchase order is not created)
    As far as I can see, after clicking the add button in the sales order document, the Sales Order is created on the DB. If there's no way of blocking the creation of the Sales Order, can I avoid closing the purchase order window by the SBO_TransactionNotification? (if the purchase order has not been created)
    Thanks...

    Hi Yail,
    I think you can't close the purchase order with the stored procedure.
    Try to catch the Event when the user click on Cancel button.
    So you can list the vents with event logger : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ede3be37-0e01-0010-1883-cd1b5293473e
    You can block the cancel button and force the user to create the purchase order.
    Hope i help you
    Best regards

  • How to stop the waterflow?

    Hi,
    I need to make the water coming from the shower, when shower is clicked.
    And the water should stop after 5 seconds.
    The code is below.
    The water is flowing nicely. But I do not manage to stop it.
    I added a timer, which starts when the shower is clicked. And should stop the waterflow after 5 seconds have passed.
    With the lines
    if (stop = true)
         break;
         trace("break");
    it looks like the for loop is breaking right from the start, from the first second. But not completely, somehow 1 or 2 drops are flowing.
    Without these lines nothing is happening when the time is over (5 seconds from clicking the shower). Water is just flowing.
    Can someone help? How to stop the water flowing after 5 seconds and clean of the array and stage from the waterdrops?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • How to stop the internal batch session

    Hi ,
    How to stop the internal batch session, which is triggered from the program.
    When I execute the program, there is an batch session, which starts processing in parallel with the program, and causes an error message for the program, so the further process is affected.
    I tried finding the session through the Transactions - SM35, SM37. However, I could find any session in my name.
    However, when I try thro SM04, I could find an session with the same error message. But I am not able to end the session.
    Pleas advise.
    Thanks,
    cartesian.

    Go through transaction SM50. In case you have more than one application server (transaction SM51 will show) you can also use SM66 which will show all running processes on all application servers.
    With SM50 you will only see the process running if it is running on the same application server you are logged on to.
    Mark the process and use menu 'Program/Session - End Session' or 'Process - End with or without Core'
    Hope that helps,

  • How to stop the posting of documents when there is an error in record

    Hi,
    I have one issue with respect to posting of documents.
    In my Exl sheet there are 1900 records which would split into 950 records during run time.
    For each 950 records a document to be created.  Here the issue, during test run thers is no error where all the validations are done and records in xl sheet are correct.
    However when  posting, i am submitting to to standard program rfbibl01, where it is creating the session and output of the program is not showing any errors - report.
    During execution of  session, it is creating document for 1 set of 950 records and for 2 set it is finding some error and not creating any document.
    Now my requirment is as follows: since there is an error in second set, i don't want to post any record starting from the begining. No document should be created.
    In my program  once i have submitted to standard document i don't have any control over the progam in stopping the creation of session or document creation.
    Any solutions are most welcome.

  • How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

    I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
    This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
    Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
    Thanks in advance - Jebah

    Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
    any other way to disable the jobs?
    Steps I followed
    Started with a Working publication and subscription
    Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
    Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
    Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
    Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
    Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
    Observations/Issues
    Replication does not work
    Replication monitor does not show any error
    Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
    Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
    I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
    Thanks in advance
