Package: systemd Version: 232-25+deb9u1 Severity: normal Hello,
given this setup: # cat beeponce.service [Unit] Description=Beeps [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/bin/aplay /tmp/beep.wav # cat beeponce.path [Unit] Description=Monitor /tmp/zz [Path] PathModified=/tmp/zz This happens: touch /tmp/zz # BEEP! (ok) rm /tmp/zz # BEEP! (ok) touch /tmp/foo # BEEP! (What??) touch /tmp/foo # silence (ok) touch /tmp/zz # BEEP! (ok) touch /tmp/foo # silence (ok) It looks like systemd is listening to events in the containing directory to catch if the file is created, and after removing the file it accidentally triggers on a directory event even if it's not about the file being monitored.
