The failure can be triggered by adding a comment at the end of a line (which seems to produce an invalid `systemd` unit) depending on the binary passed to `ExecStart`. For example `tracd` of the `trac` isssue tracker never returns if a comment is added at the end of the `ExecStart` line, but it's hard to make `systemd` responsible for that.
Maybe it could warn when a comment symbol is detected that isn't placed at the beginning of the line or preceeded by whitespace only? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448656 Title: systemd doesn't allow proper shutdown after it encountered errornous .service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1448656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
