[BackupPC-devel] SystemD service type?

[Richard Shaw]

Since Systemd does not require a service to fork, would it be cleaner to
just call BackupPC without the "-d" option and use "Type=simple"?

Then we wouldn't even need a pid file...

Thanks,
Richard

Copying reply to users list:

I just pushed to git (https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/commit/
51e579bae854ec78573cff9c3ff36ee589286502) these changes:

- BackupPC exits with status 0 on TERM signal
- systemd file now uses Type=simple, dropped the -d, and TERM signal to
terminate
