Hi Austin, this does sound like a use-case for "RuntimeDirectory=". See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html for details. That is simpler and makes sure the directory is created/cleaned up as needed by systemd as the job is started/stopped.
That is available since systemd 211 IIRC, but that should be no problem in gentoo:-) Best Regards, Tobias On Sat, May 3, 2014 at 10:31 AM, Austin Matherne <austinmathe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you, that worked perfectly. > > > On Sat, May 3, 2014 at 3:14 AM, Kirill Elagin <kirela...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> That's how you do this in systemd: >> http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/couchdb.git/tree/couchdb.tmpfiles.conf >> >> https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/couchdb.tmpfiles?h=packages/couchdb >> >> >> -- >> Кирилл Елагин >> >> >> On Sat, May 3, 2014 at 12:03 PM, Austin Matherne >> <austinmathe...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> I switched my Gentoo install over to systemd today and pretty much >>> everything worked flawlessly.
