Thanks for your reply I take the opportunity to layout in more detail what my problem is and hopefully you and others will provide guidance:- I want to translate the following from a typical init scipt to systemd. ############## /bin/mount \ -m $someMode \ -t someType \ -o opt1,opt2,opt3 \ someDIR /somewhereInFS /bin/mkdir \ --mode $someMode $someDIR/otherDIR /bin/cp -a someStuff $someDIR/otherDIR ############# My first approach is to use a so-called service file like so [Unit] Description=Mounting and copying stuff [Service] ExecStart=/bin/mount \ -m $someMode \ -t someType \ -o opt1,opt2,opt3 \ someDIR /somewhereInFS ExecStart=/bin/mkdir \ --mode $someMode $someDIR/otherDIR ExecStart=/bin/cp -a someStuff $someDIR/otherDIR ############## However I would like to use so called mount units and with this approach this is the furtherst I get:- [Unit] Description=Mounting somewhereInFS #After=dont know what to put here? #Before=dont know what to put here? [Mount] What=someDIR Where=/somewhereInFS Type=someType Options=opt1,opt2,opt3 DirectoryMode=$someMode I am then stuck I dont know where to put the last two commands namely:- #-------------------- ExecStart=/bin/mkdir \ --mode $someMode $someDIR/otherDIR and ExecStart=/bin/cp -a someStuff $someDIR/otherDIR #-------------------------- do I have to create a service file for these and if so how do I ensure the mount unit is exicuted before this service is called? ( Remark::- this is a learnig exercise And using fstab is not in such an instance an option ) Thanks in advance sincerely luxInteg _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
