Created attachment 1723048 [details]
systemd-analyze_output

Description of problem: After creating rsync backup with systemd units, verification resulted in a list of warnings.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 33


How reproducible: Very 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create bash script
    $ sudo nano /opt/mybackup.sh
    $ sudo chmod +x /opt/mybackup.sh

2. Create service unit
    $ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mybackup.service

    # Service unit file

    [Unit]
    Description=Daily backup using rsync

    [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/opt/mybackup.sh
    User=me

    $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    $ sudo systemctl start mybackup.service

 3. Create timer unit
    $ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mybackup.timer

    # Timer unit file

    [Unit]
    Description=Daily backup of home directory

    [Timer]
    Unit=mybackup.service
    OnBootSec=5min
    OnCalendar=daily
    Persistent=true

    [Install]
    WantedBy=timers.target

    $ sudo systemctl start mybackup.timer
    $ sudo systemctl enable mybackup.timer

4. Verify
    $ sudo systemd-analyze verify /etc/systemd/system/mybackup.*

5. Observe output (warnings) unrelated to newly created unit files
/usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control


Actual results: Received warnings unrelated to the unit files created for backups
Output:  /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:15: Unit configured to use KillMode=none. This is unsafe, as it disables systemd's process lifecycle management for the service. Please update your service to use a safer KillMode=, such as 'mixed' or 'control


Expected results:
Status verifies newly created service is loaded and active


Additional info:  The verification command produced a list of warnings, one with plymouth-start.service reported here, and a list of dracut warnings previously reported with Bug 1873286

Yep, we're trying to stop the use of this mode (as explained in the message). This has nothing to do with your
unit. systemd-analyze simply always prints all errors for all units.
