Package: downtimed Version: 0.6-3 Severity: serious User: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: systemd-units
The systemd service file shipped with downtimed has several issues: - it starts downtimed with -D, which disables database updates. Surely that's not what's expected. (Hence severity serious.) - the daemon forks, but the service isn't configured properly for that and as a result the unit remains in state "inactive (dead)". Since there's no option to disable forking, it should use Type=forking and let systemd guess the right PID (which it does). - the reload action, which was present in the sysv init script, has not been reimplemented. - the description contains a typo, and doesn't really describe the service anyway. - KillMode=process is not necessary, the default would be fine. - After=network.target is not necessary. I guess that this service file was adapted from ssh.service, which is where the -D, KillMode and After come from... but as-is, it's broken.
