systemd service file

[X4]

[Unit] Description=A fast & static web server for serving web apps. After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target Hi, I just made a systemd service file. It can be improved to parametrically load different config files and more, but that's for later.

1. Can you make the make install procedure simpler???
   • Just let it copy shortfin to /usr/local/sbin and the shortfin.conf to /usr/local/etc/shortfin/shortfin.conf or --prefix.
2. Can you allow configuring shortfin based on directory structure instead of conf files??
   • Just like Chapter "I. The web server" http://gwan.ch/archives/gwan_linux.pdf.
3. Make it even faster

[Service]
Nice=5
Type=simple
PIDFile=/run/shortfin.pid
ExecStartPre=/bin/mount --make-rprivate /
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/shortfin -c /usr/local/etc/shortfin/shortfin.conf -d
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=/bin/kill -QUIT $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Put this into /usr/lib64/systemd/system/shortfin.service and run: systemctl enable shortfin.service systemctl start shortfin.service

The service file works, but there is a bug (segfault) in shortfin. See: #3 I would be grateful for a gentoo ebuild.

I'd recommend throwing the systemd service file into contrib/ and sending off a pull request. I agree it would be nice to have (I've already moved the existing sysvinit script to contrib/). I would consider an ebuild outside the scope of things the upstream repo should have. 1.) I've already simplified make install 2.) Very interesting... 3.) ...

3) was just motivation to continue :) Keep up the good work! I'm sorry @timothyej I'm just very limited in time atm (have a very important deadline), could you just copy it to contrib, if you think it's useful? Thank you for that in advance :)

I committed your systemd service unit and sent pull request https://github.com/timothyej/Shortfin/pull/6 ; would you consider this issue closed?
