Hello, I want to have a unit that monitors a path and commits automatically to git whenever something changes. It usually works, like that:
# cat git-commit@.service [Unit] Description=Automatic commit for %f [Service] Type = oneshot Nice = 10 # git returns 1 if there is nothing to commit SuccessExitStatus=1 WorkingDirectory = %f ExecStart = /usr/bin/git add --all . ExecStart = /usr/bin/git commit -a -m "Automatic commit." # cat git-commit@.path [Unit] Description = Path monitor for %f [Path] PathChanged = %f [Install] WantedBy = multi-user.target It basically works but has two issues: 1) The path unit does not seem to monitor the path recursively, therefore I don't get a commit when a file in a subdirectory changes 2)Sometimes the commit fails, like when an application pushes files to quickly into the directory: Failed to start Automatic commit for /etc. git-commit@etc.service: Start request repeated too quickly or when files vanish before they are commited. This is usally not a problem, and I just want to restart it (after a short delay) Setting Restart=on-failure on a Type=oneshort unit does not work git-commit@etc.service: Service has Restart= setting other than no, which isn't allowed for Type=oneshot services. Refusing. Any idea how to address these two issues? Thanks!
