Hello,
I want to run a script invoked by udev to run a pactl script. I am now
using a udev rule
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/my_script"
which calls (drew is my username):
systemctl --machine=drew@.host --user --now my.service
which has:
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/my_script.py
and in the my_script.py, I do what I need. I cannot call my_script.py
directly
from the udev rule because, if I understood it correctly, scripts
triggered
by udev run in a limited environment and pactl runs as user.
Needless to say, this feels rather hackish. Ideally I would use something
like
TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="my.service"
I can specify "User=" in the service file but I could not figure out
to translate the --machine=drew@.host parameter to it.
Is there a way to do this or am I just missing what --machine is for?
Kind regards,
Tomas
