PartsOf (like BindsTo) is orthogonal to After/Before. PartsOf/BindsTo define what to do, After/Before define when to do. > I will give it a shot. > >> >> >>> The following unit file describes drainconnections: >>> >>> >>> [Unit] >>> Description=Drain Connections >>> After=supervisord.service >>> BindsTo=supervisord.service >>> ... >>> >>> In addition, I also needed to add BindsTo=drainconnections to the >>> supervisord service. >>> >> >> This will create dependency loop with your unit definition shown above. > > > Wouldn’t the Before/After take care of breaking the dependency loop?

If you need full BindsTo semantic (which is superset of Requires) it only works as documented if you also have corresponding After/Before which creates loop. Otherwise Requires part is mostly useless. If you are only interested in propagating stop request and "stopping on surprise removal" part of BindsTo then this is probably OK, but this will make your units definitions rather confusing. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
