Hello, Andreas, Thanks for your reply.
But I think that invoke-rc.d has strange behavior. Is it OK that it starts disabled service? # systemctl is-enabled ipmi_port disabled # invoke-rc.d ipmi_port start Job for ipmi_port.service failed. See 'systemctl status ipmi_port.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript ipmi_port, action "start" failed. ● ipmi_port.service - ipmiutil ipmi_port service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ipmi_port.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2016-12-20 15:27:52 +03; 5ms ago Process: 786 ExecStart=/usr/share/ipmiutil/ipmiutil.setup >/dev/null && /usr/sbin/ipmi_port -b || : (code=exited, status=6) Dec 20 15:27:52 debian systemd[1]: Starting ipmiutil ipmi_port service...
