Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: ExecStop doesn't get called when service crashes

Hi Reindl,

Thank for the clarification.

The documentation mentions the below quote which lead to the confusion. Also, it doesn't explain why systemd-216 invokes ExecStop but not systemd-244 when the process is killed.

"Also note that the stop operation is always performed if the service started successfully, even if the processes in the service terminated on their own or were killed."

Regards,
Vinothkumar

jesus that's exactly what the docs say

* ExecStop: clean stop of the service
* ExecStopPost: any case
