yes and that is why "systemd" should generate a notify-mail to root as

Again with my admin hat it should not it.
it should be able because you are not the admin of my servers :-)
Thankfully I'm not.
I manage up to 100 server instances which kinda is enough and fills my
quota .
It should provide the admin with the means to take actions if an failure occurs
since in large deployments you
might want send different email depending on which service is failing like
sending [email protected] mail if
bind goes down, [email protected] if apache goes down etc.
in your environemnt maybe, but it should generally have SIMPLE options
for setups where hostmaster, webmaster, postmaster is the same person
Then create a unit that only sends failure notifications to root hey you
can even call it RestartNotifyMail.service....
and at the same time take other action like potentially trigger abrt to send
bug report or
revert changes and restart the daemon etc. as opposed to pipe a simple mail
notification
to root and systemd provides exactly that to admins via OnFailure= see man
systemd.unit
for details...
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.unit.html does not contain the word
"mail"
"RestartNotifyMail=root" would be what is needed in SOHO environments!
well but a) there are missing options and b) OnFailure is simply a joke
if i say "Restart=always" then OnFailure is NOT triggered
Why should it be honestly I would like to hear those arguments which
should be rather interesting...
if i say "Restart=always" i want a mail if this happens
not a own unit-file
This is just laughable no admin would do this so go ahead and shoot
yourself in the foot but dont be complaining on this list of the lack of
options ( or some option not working ) and what not in the process so
anyone who might be passing by on the worldwideweb ignore this and set a
more sane Restart option for your environment/deployment as in
Restart=on-failure and create a set of good units to use with that in
OnFailure=.
When service(s) fail they fail for a reason and admin should inspect the
cause of that...
( thou some apparently would like to be spammed to death when that
service is stuck in a restart loop )...
