Hi, I had a query on RestartSec= & Restart= parameters and how they work with StartLimitInterval= & StartLimitBurst= parameters.
I have a socket-service pair (say test.socket & test.service) test.socket [Unit] Description=Test socket [Socket] ListenDatagram=123 Accept=No [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target test.service [Unit] Description=test service Requires=test.socket [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/mytest StandardInput=socket [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I see that the test.socket fails with following error, systemd[1]: test.service: Start request repeated too quickly. systemd[1]: test.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: Failed to start test service. systemd[1]: test.socket: Failed with result 'service-start-limit-hit'. The test.socket fails after trying to start test.service for 5 times. I think this this is due to the default values of StartLimitInterval= & StartLimitBurst= which are 10sec and 5 respectively. The test.service restart is attempted even though there is no "Restart=" parameter is specified in the file. So, this means StartLimitInterval= & StartLimitBurst= are not dependent on "Restart=" parameter? Is my understanding correct ? Is there a way to add a delay before attempting to restart the service without specifying "Restart=" parameter? As per my understanding "RestartSec=" works only when "Restart=" parameter is set to some value. Thanks & Regards, Hari.
