I love systemd....not :-)
Unfortunately, it's something we'll have to get used to. Fwiw, systemd on
*early* releases of redhat/centos 7 was unstable (do I hear a resounding
"yes"? :-) At a minimum, you want to be on 7.4.
So back to the service file dilemma I whined about a few minutes ago....
Where I was getting hung up was trying to get any of the bacula service
files to pick up the variables they need. My read of the
systemd documentation is -- it's supposed to work....but three days of
banging my head was quite enough. I simply filled out all the "@foo@" spots
(which I had changed into ${foo}, just so you'll know...) with the correct
values. Here's my bacula-dir.service file:
[Unit]
Description=Bacula Director Daemon service
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
RequiresMountsFor=/usr/libexec/bacula/bin/working /usr/libexec/bacula/bin
/usr/libexec/bacula/bin /usr/libexec/bacula/bin/working
[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/bacula-dir
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bacula/bin/bacula-dir -c
/usr/libexec/bacula/bin/bacula-dir.conf

ExecReload=/usr/libexec/bacula/bin/bacula-dir -t -c
/usr/libexec/bacula/bin/bacula-dir.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
StandardError=syslog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
My -fd and -sd files are similar, of course.
All three services started without issue once I hard-coded everything. (I
don't like it...but it works....)
Now to remember what I did to get baculum running.... - d
