I suppose I could do that. Perhaps there is a cleaner way. All I want to do is this: 1) I want my service executable to be copied from flash to RAM disk, and then executed from there, so that the original can be updated while the copy is running. 2) I want the service to be able to stop itself, and have systemd repeat the copy operation and run the new copy. 3) If the service actually fails due to a bad configuration, it should die and stay dead, since restarting it would just fail again. Seems like a simple pattern that someone must have done before, and it shouldn't take two services to do it. I thought that the ExecStartPre would be a good way to do the copy. I suppose I could also rewrite my service so that it returns a zero exit code if its initialization fails, and a nonzero exit code if it ever wants to restart itself, and then use Restart=on-failure. Does that sound sensible? -- Ciao, Paul D.
