[Dxspider-support] dxspider and systemd

[Tim Tuck]

Hi Stephen,

You are missing the *RuntimeDirectory* statement from the system file.

/var/run is ephemeral and directories are created there either through 
system service files or by systemd and conf files and purged when the 
system is rebooted so the current /var/run/dxspider directory would go 
away on reboot.

Using *RuntimeDirectory* as part of the system file will ensure that 
systemd creates the /var/run/dxspider directory with the correct 
permissions on every boot of the system or run of the service.

The correct syntax and included with your script is as follows...

[Unit]
Description=dxcluster service

[Service]
RuntimeDirectory=dxspider
PIDFile=/var/run/dxspider/dxspider.pid
Type=simple
Environment=TERM=linux
User=sysop
TTYPath=/dev/tty8
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/perl -w /spider/perl/cluster.pl" sysop > 
/dev/tty7 < /dev/tty8
ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c 'umask 022; pgrep perl > 
/var/run/dxspider/dxspider.pid'
ExecStop=/usr/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID
Restart=always
RestartSec=0
TTYReset=yes
TTYVHangup=yes
TTYVTDisallocate=yes
KillSignal=SIGHUP

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

cheers

Tim
