[systemd-devel] What is the best way to run a shell script through 'ExecStart'
Greetings all, I have been trying to convert a LSB initscript of a package into corresponding systemd service file. Most init scripts are simple and translating them into systemd unit files is non-trivial. In this case it is a relatively long script involving some loops. 1) Should I write a script file separately and then call it through 'ExecStart'? or 2) It would be good (and do-able) idea to fit whole script inside ExecStart=/bin/sh -c script? (If yes, I would prefer it as it will free me from hassle of maintaining two files) If 2) seems appropriate, can anyone please share something which involves using of loop inside systemd service file? Thanks, Shakeel ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
[systemd-devel] How to permanently disable a service after first boot
Hi, If there is a foo.service which is required to run during first system boot then what is the best solution to permanently disable it afterwards? I can think of two solutions but I am not sure which one is correct/more appropriate. 1) ExecStartPost=systemctl disable foo.service (I doubt this will work) 2) ExecStartPost=/bin/rm -f foo.service (this works for me but is this a clean solution?) Is there any flag in for systemd unit files which can be set to run a service on first boot only?

[systemd-devel] systemd service file type
Hi all, Is there any limitation on file types which can act as a valid unit file for systemd? I have seen .socket, .mount, .path and of-course .service. Or any file with valid syntax can act as a systemd unit file? Thanks Shakeel ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
