Folks I've written a service (wd.service) which I want to start at boot on my BBB (running 3.8.13-bone70). I can use systemctl to start and stop it using the commands
systemctl start wd.service systemctl stop wd.service and everything works exactly as planned. However, when I try and get it to load at boot using the command systemctl enable wd.service I get the response 'Failed to issue method call: Bad message' I've scouted asround on the internet for similar error messages and there are plenty of examples of 'Failed to issue method call: No such file' (which all seem to boil down to overwriting the symlinks used by systemd), but nothing referring to 'Bad message'. It seems as though, for some reason, systemctl doesn't understand (or won't accept) 'enable' as a valid command, even though it seems that this absoltuely the standard way to get services to load at boot. I've tried all the simple tricks I can think of, like renaming it, putting in the explicit path to the unit file, rebooting etc but all to no avail. (Incidentally, I get exactly the same response using the 'disable' command). And there are only so many times you can check 'enable' to see if it's spelt correctly. So now I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Any suggestions welcome, Thanks Duncan -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
