Description Albert Strasheim 2011-04-04 06:05:38 UTC

Description of problem:

I have the following foo.service configuration:

[Unit]
Description=Foo

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/ls
RestartSec=10
Restart=always
StandardInput=null
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=inherit

The Restart=always line prevents the service from running.

If I comment it out, the command runs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-22-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

systemctl --system daemon-reload && systemctl restart foo.service && systemctl monitor
  
Actual results:

Failed to parse message: Message has only 1 arguments, but more were expected
Job 13409 removed.
Unit foo.service changed.
Unit foo.service changed.

Syslog contains:

systemd[1]: foo.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=217

Expected results:

Service should run.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Albert Strasheim 2011-04-04 12:41:39 UTC

It seems things are actually running, but the

Failed to parse message: Message has only 1 arguments, but more were expected

error message is a bit confusing. Probably not a bug, but where is it coming from?

Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-06 00:46:56 UTC

This was a parse error in systemctl. Fixed in git. Thanks!
