Hi all,
What do people think about replacing some of the koha-* script files with systemd unit files? I'm creating a service for a RabbitMQ-based task scheduler and my unit file is 17 declarative configuration lines. Creating a koha-mq-scheduler file looks like it'll be hundreds of lines of shell script code. My unit file is actually a "template" file, which means I have 1 file in /etc/systemd/system/koha-mq-scheduler@.service and I can just invoke "systemctl start koha-mq-scheduler@INSTANCE.service" to start the service. You can use the %i placeholder in the unit file and it will be replaced with INSTANCE, so you can set paths, environmental variables, et cetera very easily. It's so easy and convenient. I think all modern Linux OSes use systemd for their init system, so I think it would be pretty safe to use. I'm happy to work on this one, but I guess I'd like to see if other people have interest in this.
