Bug 1126625

that happens without type=forking and it is not necessary if Before/After are already ordered correctly

Aug  4 23:51:43 testserver clamav-milter[962]: ERROR: Failed to initiate streaming/fdpassing
Aug  4 23:51:43 testserver clamav-milter[962]: WARNING: No clamd server appears to be available

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

> I changed clamd to Type=forking

Seems a regression see [1]

[1]
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/clamav/c/8e91346cb14057357c325449041edea8df06b1e5?branch=master

who is that idiot and why don't he read the fucking systemd manual?

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html
If set to simple (the default if neither Type= nor BusName=, but ExecStart= are specified), it is expected that the process configured with ExecStart= is the main process of the service. In this mode, if the process offers functionality to other processes on the system, its communication channels should be installed before the daemon is started up (e.g. sockets set up by systemd, via socket activation), as systemd will immediately proceed starting follow-up units

how does that braindead fool imagine that services which use clamd smell that they have wait to start? and hence i overwride 99% of all unit-files in /etc/systemd/system/ because too many maintainers don't have the slightest clue what they are doing

@Harald I really don't understand why your account aren't suspend yet , the author of commit is there , so don't insult him neither anyone, neither use offensive language , if not I will have to report you . 

I think is about : 
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/clamav-0.99.2-17.fc27#comment-720009

@Sergio - just because one guy did a override of the originally broken service which now needs to be corrected someone goes out and change the type back without any additional comment in bodhi?

frankly for many things i don't care about Fedora packages at all for years because when i override https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/clamav-0.99.2-17.fc27#comment-720009 can't happen because i cloe the whole unit in /etc/systemd/system or in most cases fork the whole packages because i am tired of such long response times and discussions at all

the "--foreground=yes" is just plain wrong with Type=forking - that's it

don't get me wrong but i did expect a maintainer touching something to try if it works at all and then that won't have hapüpended - the proper fix anyways is "Type=forking" and remove "--foreground=yes" from ExecStart and not roll back to Type=simple

that's BTW not clamd specific - "--foreground=yes" or similar called params disable the forking behavior from the daemon at start which is required by Type=simple

I'm fine with going back to Type=forking and removing --foreground=yes, I was just trying to fix it now starting with how it is configured.

it's that simple for every unit out there:

Type=simple
ExecStart=binary --foreground=yes

Type=forking
ExecStart=binary --daemonize=yes

/usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/%i.conf --daemonize=yes

/usr/sbin/clamd: unrecognized option `--daemonize=yes'
ERROR: Unknown option passed
ERROR: Can't parse command line options

Hi, thanks for the testing please can you edit again /usr/lib/systemd/system/clamd@.service and try with [1] and confirm that is working for you after run [2] , It seems that is working for me now. Thanks

[1]

[Unit]
Description = clamd scanner (%i) daemon
After = syslog.target nss-lookup.target network.target

[Service]
Type = forking
ExecStart = /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/%i.conf 
Restart = on-failure

[2]

systemctl daemon-reload 
systemctl start clamd

That works for me.  Presumably we should change clamav-milter.systemd to forking (and drop foreground=yes) for the same reason as well.  I've tested that as well as seems to work fine.

OK thanks for testing and my sincere apologies for the bad behavior of Harald.
I'm going update package now , more 355 emails of spam o'matic (I'm fixing 9 bugs now)
