Systemd cant start my script
Hi,
systemd cant start my script, but it work, at command prompt.
Code and execute at command prompt
Code:
#cat collector.sh
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
        start)
        /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2.sh
        /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2_UI.sh
        ;;
        stop)
        kill -9 `cat  /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2_UI.PID`; rm -f /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2_UI.PID
        kill -9 `cat /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2.PID` ; rm -f /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2.PID
        ;;
        *)
        echo "Usage:  collector.sh start|stop"
        exit 1
esac


#  ./collector.sh start; sleep 3; for PID in `cat *.PID`; do ps -fp $PID;  done;

Why systemd does not like my code?

I think systemd considers it dead because the scripts run in background, and the foreground process quits. systemd would do its own tracking of PIDs. At the least you'd need to inform systemd what PID represents the live daemon.

For example, see this systemd service example. The 'service' is a script which loops continually, running in the foreground.

systemd-cat is probably your suggestion

@Corona688 I can't figure out how to use it.

Something like
Code:
# config for systemd
...
ExecStart=/path/to/collector2.sh
...

where collector2.sh is
Code:
#!/bin/bash

. $HOME/.pgprofile_pgwatch2
# Redirect standard output into logfile
exec >> /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2.log
# Redirect standard error into logfile
exec 2>&1
# Run program with these outputs and the exact same PID we started with so systemd can track it
exec /opt/app/pgwatch2/pgwatch2-master/pgwatch2/pgwatch2

And the UI service would be a separate service like

Code:
# config for systemd
...
ExecStart=/path/to/collector2-ui.sh
...

and collector2-ui.sh would look like:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
. $HOME/.pgprofile_pgwatch2
# Save stdout to log file
exec >> /home/postgres/scripts/pgwatch2/pgwatch2_UI.log
# Redirect stderr to log file
exec 2>&1
# Run python with the exact same PID we started with, so that systemd can track it
exec /bin/python3.6 /opt/app/pgwatch2/pgwatch2-master/webpy/web.py

Both of these programs don't go into the background or save PID files - when you run things with systemd, that's systemd's job.

I got a point:

I've had a few problems with systemd and a very simple start/stop script too. I was asked to set something that that was not a true service to run at boot time. After much testing and tracing, the problem I had was that systemd would run the start and then run the stop. Weird, but that's what it seemed to do. I got past this by adding a RemainAfterExit=yes clause in my service definition file.

The whole thing in /etc/systemd/system/robin.service (okay I changed the name) is pasted below:
Code:
[Unit]
Description=Robin service daemon
Wants=network.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=robin_srv
ExecStart=/usr/local/scripts/robin-service.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/local/scripts/robin-service.sh  stop
TimeoutStartSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

After that it is a start/stop script much like to have that is being called.


Does that help?



Kind regards,
Robin
