With OpenStack there are quite a large number of daemons per host, each of which has their own .service unit file. openstack-glance-api.service openstack-glance-registry.service openstack-keystone.service openstack-nova-api.service openstack-nova-cert.service openstack-nova-compute.service openstack-nova-network.service openstack-nova-objectstore.service openstack-nova-scheduler.service openstack-nova-volume.service openstack-swift-account.service openstack-swift-container.service openstack-swift-object.service openstack-swift-proxy.service Currently our OpenStack instructions have such fun commands as: # for svc in api registry; do sudo systemctl start openstack-glance-$svc.service; done # for svc in api objectstore compute network volume scheduler cert; do sudo systemctl start openstack-nova-$svc.service; done What I'd like to be able todo is setup some kind of grouping, so that you can just start/stop/check status of everything in simple commands like: # sudo systemctl start openstack-nova.target # sudo systemctl status openstack-nova.target # sudo systemctl stop openstack-nova.target My naive attempt to make this work was todo - Create a openstack-nova.target containining [Unit] Description=OpenStack Nova WantedBy=multi-user.target - Edit each of openstack-nova-XXX.service to change WantedBy=multi-user.target to WantedBy=openstack-nova.target But after doing this, stopping/starting the target has no effect on the running state of units I associated with it. Also I'd like starting/stopping XXX.target to take account of the enablement state of the individual XXX-YYY.service files. eg so I can disable say, openstack-nova-network.service on a host, but still use openstack-nova.target to bulk stop/start all the other services that are enabled. Either I'm missing some config change, or what I'm attempting is just not the kind of functionality that .target files are intended to offer ?
