Hi All,

Scientific Linux 7.4 (RHEL Clone based on CentOS)

# rpm -qa sane-backends
sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64


I can start /usr/sbin/saned from the command line:

/usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128; echo $?; ps ax | grep -i [s]aned
0
29857 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/saned -a saned -d128

But not from my systemd scripts, which I picked up from
"man saned".

Note that I can use the name saned\@.service name due to
a very long standing bug:

'systemctl' does not properly run the 'start', 'restart' or 'status' for a .service file containing an '@'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142369

In my case it gives:
    Failed to start saned@.service: Unit name saned@.service is
    missing the instance name.


So I called 'saned\@.service" "saned\@sane.service"

<code saned.socket>
[Unit]
Description=saned incoming socket

[Socket]
ListenStream=6566
Accept=yes
MaxConnections=1

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
</code>


<code saned\@sane.service>
[Unit]
Description=Scanner Service
Requires=saned.socket

[Service]
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/saned -a saned -s
User=saned
Group=saned
# User=root
# Group=root
StandardInput=null
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
Environment=SANE_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/sane.d
# If you need to debug your configuration uncomment the next line and
# change it as appropriate to set the desired debug options
Environment=SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 SANE_DEBUG_BJNP=5

[Install]
Also=saned.socket
<code>

Error message is

# systemctl daemon-reload; systemctl stop saned.socket; systemctl stop saned\@sane.service; systemctl start saned.socket; systemctl start saned\@sane.service; systemctl -l status saned\@sane.service; ps ax | grep [s]aned

ps command is empty

How do I troubleshoot this?

Why did it succeed and exit?

And were are the logs for 'Environment=SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255
SANE_DEBUG_BJNP=5"?


Many thanks,
