Description Mikael Bergemalm 2014-08-21 11:23:10 UTC

Description of problem: Zabbix forks during start causing systemctl not to function as expected (stop/restarts) when unit-file has Type=oneshot.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): zabbix22-agent-2.2.5-1.el7.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl stop zabbix-agent

Actual results: zabbix daemons won't exit.


Expected results: zabbix daemons should be stopped.


Additional info: This is solved by using the Type=forking instead.

# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/zabbix-agent.service 
[Unit]
Description=Zabbix Monitor Agent
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd
RemainAfterExit=yes
User=zabbix

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Comment 1 Mikael Bergemalm 2014-09-04 12:43:16 UTC

The PIDFile statement should also be added, status might be inaccurate otherwise.
"PIDFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid".

So in total:

[Unit]
Description=Zabbix Monitor Agent
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd
RemainAfterExit=yes
User=zabbix
PIDFile=/var/run/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Comment 2 Volker Fröhlich 2014-09-04 21:51:05 UTC

I did that. I removed RemainAfterExit, however.

Comment 4 Mikael Bergemalm 2014-09-05 19:24:05 UTC
