What am I missing? But systemctl supports using the reload functionality in init scripts, so that doesn't really make a difference. As I understood the problem description, this is what happens: someone runs "systemctl reload foo.service" for a broken sysv script, systemd sees that the script seems to support a "reload" argument and runs "/etc/init.d/foo reload" in a temporary cgroup, but the broken script stops the running service and starts a new one in the temporary cgroup. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
