Instead of converting the sysv script, you could trivially write your own, the following was tested against about 6 SNMP queries, the service stops and starts as expected. You may want to purge the sysv remnants. # cat /etc/systemd/system/lsi_mrdsnmpd.service [Unit] Description=LSI SNMP Agent startup/shutdown script Requires=network.target Requires=snmpd.service After=network.target After=snmpd.service [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/etc/lsi_mrdsnmp/lsi_mrdsnmpagent -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target hth, jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
