Hi. I am looking for a couple of systemd units which I have not been
able to find -- one for mailman and one for innd which is a shell script
by itself.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I use this one in production for mailman with Gentoo:
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Mailman mailing list service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop
User=mailman
Group=mailman
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have any for innd.
If innd is the one from net-nntp/inn, then the following should work:
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=The Internet News daemon
Documentation=man:innd(8)
ConditionPathExists=/var/run/news
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news
ExecStop=/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news stop
User=news
Group=news
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
----------------------------------------------------------------
If the binary rc.news forks itself (and there is no option to force it
to run in the foreground), use Type=forking. The former is preferred
over the latter. Also, to guarantee that the directory /var/run/news
always is present, add the following to a new file
/etc/tmpfiles.d/innd.conf:
----------------------------------------------------------------
d /var/run/news 0755 news news 10d -
----------------------------------------------------------------
You can replace 10d with - (hypen), so the directory is never cleaned
automatically. If you try this unit and it works as expected, please
let us know.
OK, thanks again. I have one question which this brings up -- and this
applies to openrc as well -- I never have let it migrate /var/run to
/run and /var/lock likewise because I have directories in those which
are owned by various users, etc. and the packages themselves almost
never create such -- is putting things in /etc/tmpfiles.d the correct
way to fix this?
tmpfiles.d is from systemd:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html
However, I think OpenRC developers were thinking about supporting it.
I don't know if that actually happened.
openrc-0.11.8 already had initial tmpfiles support, but it's very buggy
however ~arch has now openrc-0.12, you could say, complete tmpfiles
support and it's already being used at production level packages like
sys-apps/kmod's kmod-static-nodes init script
so the same tmpfiles systemd uses, will work fine on openrc-0.12 too,
long as tmpfiles.setup is in the boot runlevel...
