If I call systemctl to shutdown or reboot, the effect is that it does not honor kodi-x11.service's ExecStop= line which results in an unclean exit of kodi and of data loss since kodi writes out some data when it exits. By contrast, calling systemctl to stop the service works as expected. Does anyone with more knowledge that I understand the differences with respect to this aspect of stopping a service as it relates to: 1) systemctl stop kodi-x11 (which behaves as expected) 2) systemctl reboot (which does not behave as expected) Here is kodi-x11.service: [Unit] Description=Kodi standalone (X11) After=remote-fs.target systemd-user-sessions.service network-online.target nss-lookup.target sound.target bluetooth.target polkit.service upower.service mysqld.service Wants=network-online.target polkit.service upower.service Conflicts=getty@tty1.service [Service] User=kodi Group=kodi EnvironmentFile=-/etc/conf.d/kodi-standalone PAMName=login TTYPath=/dev/tty1 Environment=WINDOWING=x11 ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/kodi-standalone -- :0 -quiet -nolisten tcp vt1 ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall --user kodi --exact --wait kodi-x11 Restart=on-abort StandardInput=tty StandardOutput=journal [Install] Alias=display-manager.service _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
