I assume there must be a basic error here, but I'm at a loss.
I like to crawl before I walk and walk before I run. Even then, I see a pitfall in your plan. So, I created a test /etc/systemd/system/dock.service. [root@f33k system]# cat dock.service [Unit] Description=Power the dock up or down After=local-fs.target DefaultDependencies=no [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/tmp/auto ExecStart=/usr/bin/touch /var/tmp/auto/start ExecStop=/usr/bin/touch /var/tmp/auto/stop And notice the following...... [root@f33k ~]# ll /var/tmp/auto ls: cannot access '/var/tmp/auto': No such file or directory [root@f33k ~]# systemctl status dock.service ● dock.service - Power the dock up or down Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/dock.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) [root@f33k ~]# systemctl start dock.service [root@f33k ~]# ll /var/tmp/auto total 0 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 14 06:35 start -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 14 06:35 stop See the issue? Your dock.service, if run, would power-up and then immediately power-down the dock. -- People who believe they don't make mistakes have already made one. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
