Hi, I am writing a systemd service file for a daemon (ntopng) and I would like to know what you think is the best way to load some configuration.
The ntopng daemon takes multiple interfaces in the format of multiple -i command-line options. For example. ntopng -i eth0 -i wlan0 Currently the interfaces are stored in /etc/default/ntopng INTERFACES="eth0 wlan0" and the sysv init script takes care of adding "-i" for each one of them. I would like to keep the sysv compatibility and do the same in systemd. I tried in various ways, but the two solution I could think of are: 1) change the format of INTERFACES to require inclusion of -i. I.e INTERFACES="-i eth0 -i wlan0" and use EnvironmentFIle=/etc/default/ntopng. This changes the format, complicated upgrades, and is more error prone. 2) instead of doing Exec=ntopng, Exec a script that does the mangling and then execs ntopng. Because both solutions do not look great to me, and I could not find an example, I am asking your opinion. After writing this email, I start to believe 2) is the right way, but I would appreciate anybody's input.
