Good Afternoon list, I am having a problem with my systemd service file and I think I now understand the problem. I'll describe below, but I'm hoping there is a way around it which someone may be able to illuminate me on.
I am developing an rpm package with software which gets installed under /opt/my/bin/service. Imagine I have a corresponding directory in /opt/my/etc/systemd/system/my-service.service incorporated into the package. As part of the package installation the post install script runs systemctl enable /opt/my/etc/systemd/system/my-service.service My service file has an After=basic.target, Before=network.target, WantedBy=Default.target, and ExecStart=/opt/my/bin/service. All of the symlinks appear to be ok. After installation when the user runs systemctl start my-service.service everything works as expected. However, when rebooting everything is not so nice. In the journal one can observe the error "Cannot add dependency job for unit my-service.service, ignoring: Unit not found." /opt happens to be on a separate partition than / and /usr. I'm assuming during systemd startup that systemd is parsing everything before /opt is moutned and coming across a broken symlink /etc/systemd/system/my-service.service. Is there any other solution than removing the symlink and installing my-service.service unit file in /etc/systemd/system directly? We have a requirement to keep our software neatly confined in /opt/my. Kind Regards, Kevin
