How to make systemd wait until process started
How to make systemd wait until process started
As shown below I am using below configuration where process2 is dependent on process1 to start. Is there a way to block starting process2 until process1 is completely started ? Currently it seems once fork is done on process1, process2 is just started off.
cat process2.service
[Unit]
Description=process1
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=process1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/process1 -d
ExecStop=/bin/kill -9 `cat /var/run/process1.pid`
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
cat process2.service
[Unit]
Description=process2
Wants=network-online.target
After=process1.service
[Service]
Type=forking
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=process2
ExecStart=/usr/bin/process2 -d
ExecStop=/bin/kill -9 `cat /var/run/process2.pid`
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Instead of
ExecStop you should be using just PidFile=/var/run/process2.pid– danblack

what constitutes process1 being "completely started" ? Is it your code?
