Hi
I'm doing something stoopid and cant see my mistake.
Having to reload all s/w after a mishap with python3.8 on another
application
my motion.service file is :-
[Unit]
Description=Motion
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion -c /etc/motion/motion.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I can run /usr/bin/motion -c /etc/motion/motion.conf
from anywhere and motion starts OK
but "sudo systemctl start motion " fails
it has been enabled, and "systemctl status" says its enabled
sorry to ask such daft questions

I can add -d if started from CLI but adding it to the ExecStart line
makes no difference .

How is "sudo systemctl start motion "? failing if systemctl status says
its enabled? Could you provide more detail?
I had a similar situation with another service where part of the call
would fail, and that failure showed in the status call, but the service
was actually running.
Have you looked to see what the /var/log/motion.log file says?
