RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Just to clarify things here a little bit. If something goes wrong and the daemon's behavior is sane (for example don't use type=simple for daemon which requires configuration and can't run without it), we will print the error message. It would be nice to have some more verbose output, but that is something for 7.1.

So far there was no progress upstream. But this bug is definitely on our radar for RHEL-7.3.

Hi Michal,
  Now that RHEL7.2 has been released what's the status of this?  Will we get to it in RHEL7.2.z and/or RHEL7.3?
Comment 20 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-06-02 08:50:04 UTC 
Michal was working on that patch, but it seems to be pretty complicated. We can't make it to rhel-7.3.

From my point of view I am not even sure that this is something we want in to change in rhel7 at all.

Hi Lukas,
  I discussed this with the customer recently.  This is a feature that would be nice to have, but it's not a show-stopper by any means.  Is this something that will eventually make it into systemd, or is it best that we decline this bugzilla and close WONTFIX due to higher priority systemd bugzillas?  After all, this bugzilla has been open since 2013 with no firm commitment to being addressed soon.  :-)
Comment 22 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-06-27 11:33:04 UTC 
This is something we definitely want in systemd, but it will not happen any time soon. Maybe it would be better to not promise anything, close this as won't fix and then suprise our customers in the distant future.
Comment 23 Jan Synacek 2016-10-18 11:29:34 UTC 
Not in scope for RHEL. If you insist on implementing such feature, please file an upstream request and reopen this bug with a link to it.
Comment 24 Paul Klapperich 2018-12-17 19:11:13 UTC 
An upstream bug was already filed before this bug was closed. Here's a link to it:
