Hi,
I wonder if a name of service can be accessed in service file somehow?
Let's have the following script (e.g. part of a former SysV init script):
thisname=`basename $0`
. /etc/$thisname
If I'd like to create the same behavior in systemd, e.g.:
EnvironmentFile=/etc/${thisname}
Is it possible?
It would be useful for many services to know its name, because if we
create a new service using
cp /lib/systemd/system/foo.service etc/systemd/system/bar.service,
we need to change the configuration file by hand always, which is
really easy to forget and make some problems unnecessarily.
Why would you copy a unit like this?
If you want to make changes to a unit file I recommend copying it from
/lib to /etc and edit it there, but that while keeping the same
filename.
Why would you want top copy a file and rename it? What's your usecase (I
don't doubt there is one, I am just curious).
(But yeah, as you noticed %n is what you are looking for.)
Spawn multiple instances for once.
so for instance I would like to run 2 different ssh servers on separated
ports with separate confs and pid
I would copy /lib/systemd/system/sshd.service
/etc/systemd/system/ssh2d.service
Adjust the pid and point the daemon to start with ssh2d_config
Using template in a such scenario would be overkill me would think..
