[systemd-devel] is such a 'failed' state?

[lejeczek]

Hi guys.

I have a service (which for some reason, I suspect SELinux,
does not start at boot) which reports as:

-> $ systemctl status -l lsyncd | cat
● lsyncd.service - Live Syncing (Mirror) Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lsyncd.service;
enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
  Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/lsyncd.service.d
           └─override.conf
   Active: inactive (dead) since Sun 2021-03-28 15:01:16
EDT; 8min ago
 Main PID: 922 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Mar 28 15:01:16 c8kubernode2.private.pawel systemd[1]:
Started Live Syncing (Mirror) Daemon.
Mar 28 15:01:16 c8kubernode2.private.pawel lsyncd[922]:
15:01:16 Normal: --- Startup, daemonizing ---
Mar 28 15:01:16 c8kubernode2.private.pawel lsyncd[922]:
15:01:16 Normal: --- Startup, daemonizing ---
Mar 28 15:01:16 c8kubernode2.private.pawel lsyncd[981]:
Normal, --- TERM signal, fading ---
Mar 28 15:01:16 c8kubernode2.private.pawel systemd[1]:
lsyncd.service: Succeeded.

and the service has:
[Service]
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30
TimeoutSec=30

I expected systemd to restart the service but that does not
happen. Services restarts okey with manual intervention.
Is it because service, even though it's not running, is not
really in 'failed' state or root cause is something else?

many thanks, L.

post the complete unit file
you don't even show us the Type

do you have an [Install] section with a active traget to begin with?

Restart=on-failure

The service terminated with a zero exit code and you use Restart=on-failure.
A zero exit code is not treated as failure.
