Re: Path based activation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In my case , I want to check whether the filesystem path is available or not ( for example, /run/user/0). If this path is available I want to start my service.

How to do this?? Can I use the same method which you mentioned?

I referred cups Daemon, but the same thing not working for me..

Path based activation is one of the simpler types – it waits for inotify events on the specified locations, and starts your service on any events. Note that it *does not* forward the event information to the service – that needs to be handled by the program itself.

foo.path:
[Path]
PathModified=/tmp/something.txt

foo.service:
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/cp -av /tmp/something.txt /tmp/backup.txt

# systemctl start foo.path
# echo Hello > /tmp/something.txt
# ls -l /tmp/{something,backup}.txt
