Hi Rajat,
PropagateReload should indeed only effect reloads of units, not stops or starts, that's what bindsto and partof are for. Systemd should protect against reload loops, but it may also give an error. I have not used this situation myself so test it. -Sietse ________________________________ From: rajat rastogi <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2018 11:24 To: Sietse van Zanen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [systemd-devel] [Need Help]: What Systemd service directives to use Hi Sietse, Thanks for reply. So if use mentioned directives as below A.service file ------------------ PropagatesReloadTo=B B.service file ---------------- PropagatesReloadTo=A Will not it create a loop? If yes, how to avoid it. I will re-phrase the requirements: 1. If process A is restarted then B should also be restarted 2. If process B is restarted then A should also be restarted 3. If process A is stopped then B should not be stopped 4. If process B is stopped then B should not be stopped For the above requirements, I want to know, what directives I need to add to service files for A & B.

I have below requirement: There are 2 processes A and B. For the mentioned processes, below behaviour is required: 1. If process A is restarted then B should also be restarted 2. If process B is restarted then A should also be restarted For the above-desired behaviour, what Systemd directives I should use? How I can avoid circular dependency if any might appear?
