The current Fedora / EPEL package supplies a SystemD unit file but it uses
type=oneshot which I don't agree with (although it works). I'm currently
working on taking over maintenance of the package since the current
maintainer doesn't really use it anymore. I plan on changing the service
file to:
# systemctl cat backuppc.service
# /etc/systemd/system/backuppc.service
[Unit]
Description= BackupPC server
After=syslog.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target
[Service]
Type=forking
User=backuppc
Group=backuppc
ExecStart=/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d
PIDFile=/var/run/BackupPC/BackupPC.pid
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Keep in mind that the package patches the location of the pid file as 3.X
put it in the log directory ($logDir or something like that).
Thanks,
Richard
