If a file "/etc/init.d/myDaemon" exists, systemd should create a virtual "myDaemon.service". (Emphasis on "virtual"; no file is created on disk.) Check syslog (/var/log/messages) for any errors related to your daemon. If there are none, reboot and edit your kernel command line, removing "rhgb quiet" and adding "systemd.log_level=debug" and check again. > Note that "start normally" is done by: > #/etc/init.d/myDaemon start > > I do not use systemctl, and I have no "myDaemon.service" file. > Since I have: > SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1 > near the top of /etc/init.d/myDaemon, I assumed that > a myDaemon.service file was unnecessary > > Is this innorrect? A .service file is unnecessary for SYSV initscripts regardless of whether that envar is set. In fact, you absolutely do not want one to exist, because unit files override identically named initscripts. SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT only prevents calls to "service daemon" or "/etc/init.d/daemon" from being redirected to systemctl. But, systemctl still has to work properly, otherwise systemd can't start your daemon on boot. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
