Hi Folks.
Currently I have some services running in a linux box (OpenSuse 11.2)
and they will be moved to an OpenSuse 13.2. I want to move the services
from SysV to systemd.
I noticed that in the service configuration file (namely
/usr/lin/systemd/system/MyService.service) there are some options wich
bother me a little bit. The services are programs written using Lazarus
and its service framework. Please note that the services run either on
Windows or on Linux (some $ifdef help). I wonder what happens on two points:
1. the new service type parameter TYPE in section [Service] should be
"simple" I guess
2. the parameter TimeoutStartSec bothers me.
As in the sefvice framework developed using Lazarus units (service
project), the program is started by the INIT script in /etc/init.d with
the -r runtime switch. The program then responds to the start event of
the Daemon unit wich, in turn, starts the main thread and the called
start procedure exits as soon as posible. The program keeps running
until the exit signal is fired and the main thread is stopped. If it is
by the means of the INIT script (service MyService stop) the process is
killed either soft or hard. The question is: does a service written in
this new method still needs the Lazarus service framework ? What is the
signal sent to systemd wich informs it that the sevice has started (read
man systemd.service (5) )? The same mechanism as the Lazarus service
framework still applies ?
I'm not yet ready to use either D-BUS messaging system nor socket based
systemd start service mechanism.
Thank you for any information.
Antonio.
