Description Karel Srot 2015-07-27 11:50:07 UTC

Description of problem:

After installing a package that provides an init.d file I am unable to start the service until I run systemctl daemon-reload.

Previous version worked, the execution of deamon-reload was only recommended.

systemd-208-20.el7_1.5.x86_64:

Comment 5 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-08-26 10:20:48 UTC

This is not working anymore because systemd does not support initscripts directly. Now it has a generator which generates unit-files, but it is only run during startup and daemon-reload.

I propose that we should keep the behavior as is and add a workaround to service command and in initscripts functions. They could detect that init.d directory was changed and reload systemd. Only downside is that you will still need to call deamon-reload before systemctl start, but that should not be a problem, because if third-party ships an initscript, it will use the old commands not systemctl.
