I am trying to write a service that will start and stop kodi[1] on Linux. The best working draft I have so far is here[2] but it does not end in a clean state if I `systemctl stop kodi` so I am looking for a good way to use an ExecStop= statement or perhaps even rewrite the service entirely.
Attached is the output of a `systemctl stop kodi` to illustrate: % journalctl -b -u kodi -- Logs begin at Sun 2016-03-20 16:00:01 EDT, end at Mon 2016-03-28 10:47:39 EDT. -- Mar 28 10:46:21 ruby systemd[1]: Started Starts instance of Kodi using xinit. Mar 28 10:46:21 ruby systemd[572]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user kodi by (uid=0) Mar 28 10:47:20 ruby systemd[1]: Stopping Starts instance of Kodi using xinit... Mar 28 10:47:20 ruby systemd[733]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user kodi by (uid=0) Mar 28 10:47:20 ruby systemd[733]: pam_systemd(login:session): Cannot create session: Already occupied by a session Mar 28 10:47:20 ruby systemd[1]: kodi.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1 Mar 28 10:47:21 ruby systemd[1]: kodi.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Mar 28 10:47:21 ruby systemd[1]: Stopped Starts instance of Kodi using xinit. Mar 28 10:47:21 ruby systemd[1]: kodi.service: Unit entered failed state. Mar 28 10:47:21 ruby systemd[1]: kodi.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Interestingly, if I add the following line, the service does stop cleanly but the permissions on /dev/null gets screwed-up: ExecStop=/usr/bin/pkill kodi Before I stop the service: % ls -lh /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 28 14:20 /dev/null After I stop the service: % ls -lh /dev/null crw--w---- 1 kodi root 1, 3 Mar 28 14:20 /dev/null Suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance. 1. https://kodi.tv 2. https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service/blob/master/init/kodi.service _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
