Have you tried just connecting like I said before? systemd's D-Bus
activation will make sure whichever polkit service is started once you try
to connect to it. This is really the way you should handle it.
That being said, for future reference, to start a potentially nonexistent
service first,
Hi Ryan,
thanks for your answer!
The issue is that some old distributions (ubuntu 16.04) had
polkitd.service, while new ones have polkit.service.
How can I specify a "Requires=" on both? Obviously one of them will fail
depending on system, thus my own service will fail too.
Thank you very much,
systemd can depend on services, not bus names. In your example, you'd want:
Wants=polkit
However, in most cases, you don't actually want to do this; if the service
(in this case, polkit) tells systemd what bus name it is going to ask for,
systemd will automatically wait when your service asks
Hi everyone!
I was wondering whether there was a way for a systemd service to wait for a
bus name to appear before starting a service.
Something like:
Requires=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1
I could not find much googling around.
Is this possible?
Thanks everyone!
Federico
