Description Nilesh Parmar 2017-03-01 19:45:36 UTC

Description of problem:
RFE: RuntimeDirectory= should resolve %i and other specifiers

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-30.el7_3.6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1] Create simple systemd template unit file:

[root@dhcp5-48 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/demo@.service 
[Unit]
Description = demo %i
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sleep %i
Restart=on-failure
RuntimeDirectory=demotest%i
RuntimeDirectoryMode=755
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[root@dhcp5-48 ~]# systemctl daemon-reload 
[root@dhcp5-48 ~]# systemctl start demo@102; systemctl status demo@102
[root@dhcp5-48 ~]# ll /run/demotest%i/

Actual results:
RuntimeDirectory currently ignores %i in instanceable service files

Expected results:
RuntimeDirectory=%i for instance would create /run/%i
