Description of problem:

systemctl start aiccu does not work



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

Fedora 23 as of Sept. 24th 2015



How reproducible:

setup /etc/aiccu.conf

systemctl start aiccu

fails after a while with a timeout

starting aiccu without systemd works fine



Solution:

* chmod a-x /lib/systemd/system/aiccu.service

(no idea why x-bits were set)



* change aiccu.service from

# /lib/systemd/system/aiccu.service
# original version, wrong
[Unit]
Description=AICCU (Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility)
Wants=network.target network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target time-sync.target

[Service]
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/aiccu
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/aiccu start $OPTIONS
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/aiccu stop
PIDFile=/run/aiccu.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target




to this:

# /lib/systemd/system/aiccu.service
# modified, does work
[Unit]
Description=AICCU (Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility)
Wants=network.target network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target time-sync.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/aiccu start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


---

no need for forking, no need for PIDs



PS: I am no Systemd expert, so I might fail to see the concept behind the original service file. My much simpler version seems to work, where as the original version did not.
