Hi,
Sorry if this is not the right place for questions, please point me in the
right direction.
I'm trying to replace `systemctl` command invocations in our project with
DBus calls. Starting/stopping services, requesting service properties work
fine, but masking/unmasking do not.
This is the behavior I want to replicate with DBus:
$ systemctl mask serial-getty@ttymxc0.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/serial-getty@ttymxc0.service →
/dev/null.
$ systemctl status serial-getty@ttymxc0.service
● serial-getty@ttymxc0.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit serial-getty@ttymxc0.service is
masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)
$ systemctl start serial-getty@ttymxc0.service
Failed to start serial-getty@ttymxc0.service: Unit
serial-getty@ttymxc0.service is masked.
This is what happens when I use DBus: (with busctl for the sake of this
discussion)
$ busctl call org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1
org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager MaskUnitFiles asbb 1
serial-getty@ttymxc0.service false false
a(sss) 1 "symlink" "/etc/systemd/system/serial-getty@ttymxc0.service"
"/dev/null"
$ systemctl status serial-getty@ttymxc0.service
● serial-getty@ttymxc0.service - Serial Getty on ttymxc0
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service;
enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
The reported symlink is there in both cases, but while in the 1st case the
service is indeed masked and cannot be started, in the 2nd case no such
thing is reported and the service can be started.
I haven't found much documentation on systemd DBUS mask/unmask method
calls. Apparently I'm missing something, but I don't know what.
OS: Custom 32bit ARM, systemd 244
Any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Gyorgy
