Hi guys,
i try to start a program via shellscript with systemd.
The program is inotifywait, the commandline looks like this:
/usr/bin/inotifywait -e delete -d -o /var/log/monitordev_shm.log -r --timefmt %d.%m.%Y-%H:%M:%S --format %w%f:%e:%T /dev/shm
When i start this script manual, inotifywait runs in the background and does what it should.
My service looks like this:
[Unit]
Description="start script to monitor deletion of files/folders in /dev/shm"
[Service]
ExecStart=/root/skripte/dev_shm_inotifywait.sh
Type=exec
# ExecStart=/usr/bin/inotifywait "-e delete -d -o /var/log/monitordev_shm.log -r --timefmt %d.%m.%Y-%H:%M:%S --format %w%f:%e:%T /dev/shm"
# Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
When i start it via systemd there is no process inotifywait running afterwards.
I tried already to start inotify in the background (&) or with exec in the script. Didn't work.
I played with the Type, tried simple. Didn't help.
I put the commandline in the service-file, not the script. Didn't work.
I tried Restart=always, no solution.
Systemctl status dev_shm_inotifywait.service is always inactive and dead.
Can anyone help me ?
Additional question: is it always necessary to do a systemctl daemon-reload after editing a unit file ?
Bernd
