Hi,
I succeeded with auto login and auto start of my Virtual Boxes, but could not
get them to do a proper shutdown.
Because of the nature of the VM processes I want to send them a proper ACPI
shutdown button instead of terminating the process, which is done through my
old rc-script.
The VirtualBoxes process are started AFTER X11 is up, but must also be shutdown
BEFORE the display-manager is exited.
How do I configure this in the service file?
You already have this property, because After is reversed during shutdown.
From systemd.unit(5):
Note that when two units with an ordering dependency between them are
shut down, the inverse of the start-up order is applied. i.e. if a unit
is configured with After= on another unit, the former is stopped before
the latter if both are shut down.
My /lib/systemd/system/vbox.service:
[Unit]
Description=Virtual Box Machines
After=vboxdrv.service network.target display-manager.service
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/home/vmuser/./rc.virtualboxes start | /usr/bin/logger
ExecStop=/home/vmuser/./rc.virtualboxes stop | /usr/bin/logger
Those two lines are wrong. ExecStart is justed exec()ed, not through the
shell. What happens here, is that the script gets three arguments
"start", "|", "/usr/bin/logger". It likely ignores everything but $1, so
it seems to work.
You might use StandardOutput= (see systemd.exec(5)), or just leave the
redirection out entirely, it is now the default to redirect stdout to
syslog.
Best,
