Notify type service as non-root user fails

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

 



I have a simple example of a service unit and bash script on rhel7 using Type=notify that I was trying to get working.  When the service unit is configured to  start the script as root things work as expected.  When adding User=testuser it fails.  While the script initially starts (as seen on process list), Journalct -xe reports many lines like the following and the service eventually timesout.  I am not even clear what these referenced PIDs are associated with as they don’t exist in the process list.
