'Type=notify' means that the service is only considered ready once is notifies systemd so through a special socket, using sd_notify(3). You told systemd that Asterisk will notify it when ready, but Asterisk never did. Thus systemd decided that service has failed. Make sure you have libsystemd-dev installed. Alternatively, remove that line (to keep the default Type=simple). When built with systemd support, asterisk updates systemd about its status using sd_notify(). This means that it is only considered as started when it has loaded all the modules. This can make startup ordering simpler. BTW: if anybody wants, you can use sd_notify to set the status (as shown in 'systemctl status asterisk.service') to an arbitrary string. Basically just use ast_sd_notify() anywhere in the code. It becomes a no-op if there's no systemd support. -- Tzafrir Cohen +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Check out the new Asterisk community forum at: https://community.asterisk.org/ New to Asterisk?
