I'm new to systemd, and I'm confused about something. The docs include the following sentence under the Restart directive:
"Configures whether the service shall be restarted when the service process exits, is killed, or a timeout is reached. The service process may be the main service process, but also one of the processes specified with ExecStartPre=, ExecStartPost=, ExecStopPre=, ExecStopPost=, or ExecReload=." Read literally, this suggests that if I set this to "on-success" or "always", and I have an ExecStartPre that runs a quick command (in my case, to copy my main service executable from a flash drive to a RAM drive), then as soon as that completes, systemd will say, "Hey, the service has terminated, time to restart it" and never get around to the ExecStart that really does the work. Is that really true? Or is that just a mistake in the docs? If it's not a mistake, how do I configure it so that it won't restart when the command launched by ExecStartPre terminates with a 0 exit code, but will restart if the actual service started by ExecStart terminates with a 0 exit code? Or is there another preferable way to do this? -- Ciao, Paul D.
