systemd service #14

Closed flare04 closed 6 years ago

flare04 commented 8 years ago

Hi I created a systemd service file for the controller to startup and be monitored by systemd.

garage - Controls the garage door

[Unit] Description="Garage Door Controller server" After=network.target auditd.service

[Service] WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/garage-door-controller ExecStart=/usr/local/garage-door-controller/controller.py StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=on-failure

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Alias=garage.service

You might want to add it to the repository

For this to work you need to add "!/usr/bin/python" to the top of controller.py

This is great. I'n not very familiar with the systemd setup. Can you put together some instructions on how to install this and use it? If so, then I'll be happy to include it in the main trunk.

I've got this script working on a Raspberry Pi, here's what I needed.

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie

I added this to the top of controller.py #!/usr/bin/python

And here's the 'service' file I used (based on the above but needed to add the python exe to the ExecStart line.

`root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# more /lib/systemd/system/garagedoor.service [Unit] Description="Garage Door Controller server" After=network.target auditd.service

[Service] WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/garage-door-controller ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /home/pi/garage-door-controller/controller.py StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process Restart=on-failure

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Alias=garage.service`

For completeness here's the output from 'Service garagedoor status'

`root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# service garagedoor status ● garagedoor.service - "Garage Door Controller server" Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/garagedoor.service; disabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2017-01-19 11:04:33 UTC; 6min ago Main PID: 3425 (python) CGroup: /system.slice/garagedoor.service └─3425 /usr/bin/python /home/pi/garage-door-controller/controller.py
