I have a templated service for which each instance needs to receive arguments of the form "foo/bar". This works fine when starting the service:
# systemctl start myservice@foo/bar.service But trying to *enable* this service results in an error: # systemctl enable myservice@foo/bar Failed to issue method call: Invalid argument I'm assuming this happens because systemd is trying to create a symlink with a "/" in the name and is falling over. I can think of a number of ways of dealing with this: A. I just write a wrapper script that accepts multiple arguments, builds a command line, and runs the service. I don't like this solution because I was trying to avoid wrapping everything in shells cripts. B. Use some form of quoting for filenames to avoid this problem. E.g., in this case, create a link on disk named 'myservice@foo%2Fbar' (assuming URL-style quoting). C. Reject instance names that contain "/" characters. Thoughts? I'm going with A as an immediate solution, but I'd prefer something like B in the long run. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <l...@oddbit.com> _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
