Hello everyone systemctl start myserv.service sometimes immediately returns to the shell prompt and sometimes stays until the program is done. Specifically, taking the example of two programs
- prog_one which starts in the foreground and never ends, defined as ExecStart=/path/to/prog_one - prog_two and prog_three which are defined as Type=oneshot ExecStart=/path/to/prog_two ExecStartPost=/path/to/prog_three systemctl start prog_one.service immediately returns (and prog_one keeps running) systemctl start prog_two.service does not return, waits until prog_two and then progr_three finish before returning If I do not use a Type in the prog_one unit, the unit fails because prog_three is started right after prog_one is initialized (and still running) Question 1: what are the rules for systemctl start ... to immediately come back to the prompt or not Question 2: how can I configure the prog_two/prog_three case, i.e. having them starting one after the other (= start prog_three when prog_two is done), and have the prompt return immediately Cheers Wojtek
