Description of problem: Currently, when a service start fails on a system with systemd there is not much details shown about the failures itself. The output can look like this: > Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service > Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. > :: [ LOG ] ::[ ERROR ] :: rlServiceStart: Starting service httpd failed > :: [ FAIL ] :: Running 'rlServiceStart httpd' (Expected 0, got 1) In such cases it would be useful to run commands suggested above to get additional information about why the service action failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beakerlib-1.6-2.el7
The patch I attach adds this feature to beakerlib (it shows status of the failed service, the reason why the service failed is in the status report)
Created attachment 697808 [details] patch providing more debugging information in rlService* functions
Should not be MODIFIED, it was not commited yet.
I have applied the patch and extended it so it provides more information even in the BeakerLib log
