You might want to use the OnFailure option in the unit files you want to monitor instead instead of using a target and wants. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html#OnFailure= Whatever action would have been taken by your polling script could just be done in the service specified in the OnFailure option. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
