The output of systemctl status openhab2 --full
and sudo journalctl -u openhab -b
both give as much information as start.sh
distribution provides. If start.sh continues successfully, then the service doesn't care what /usr/share/openhab2/runtime/karaf
.
I don't know why start.sh exists, but if it's just to set the working directory for manual setups, we do this in the service script already, so should run the Karaf file directly. We should also remove the restart on failure flag (as the last error message will always be about too many restart attempts) and use a service file such as:

wdyt?
Sounds and looks good! I will not be able to test now, will do that tomorrow! I'll also look into sd_notify.
Hey all, Hey @BClark09,
we are seeing problems similar to this quite often.
To the extend of your knowledge, can you think of any easy or practical way to have
systemctl status
actually report startup failures? It might be worth it to look into this topic. Best! ThomasAlso see: https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/issues/50#issuecomment-280868594
