[SOLVED] PPv4: systemd for Monkey

[winestock]

I am now fully systemd using linux-kirkwood 3.7.5. I installed Monkey and I tried to enable it using systemctl:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
sudo systemctl enable monkey
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
')

What do I need to get Monkey running under systemd or is the only way right now to install initscripts?

[winestock]

I did find a work around for this. I create /lib/systemd/system/monkey.service:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Unit]
Description=Monkey HTTP Daemon
Requires=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/monkey
PIDFile=/var/run/monkey.pid
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

To enable monkey:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/monkey.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/monkey.service
')

I then was able to "systemctl start monkey". I give credit to this work around to: http://bugs.monkey-project.com/ticket/60.

It seems that there was already a Arch Linux systemd Wiki page for Monkey: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Services

In there it shows for monkey:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/etc/systemd/system/monkey.service[Unit]
Description=Monkey http server deamon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/YOUR/PATH/TO/monkey/bin/monkey -D
ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
ExecReload=/bin/kill $MAINPID ; /YOUR/PATH/TO/monkey/bin/monkey -D
PIDFile=/YOUR/PATH/TO/monkey/monkey.pid.80

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

When I try:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
systemctl start monkey
')

systemctl hangs until I press CTRL-C.

You did change "/YOUR/PATH/TO/monkey" to "/usr" right?

Your service file should be this (according the first one you posted)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=Monkey http server deamon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/monkey -D
ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
ExecReload=/bin/kill $MAINPID ; /usr/bin/monkey -D
PIDFile=/var/run/monkey.pid.80

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target')

wiki is right, the config file is not. I've fixed the package and added service file. Should be available soon in the repo (if it isnt already)

The one that didnt work for you. the reason why it didnt work is because it was putting pid file in a different dir than specified in the service file. Also it appends port number to the pid file name. Service file assumes port 80, config file had port 2001. Anyway, it works now.

Okay I copied monkey.service directly from what you checked into https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... 613a41c54b:

/lib/systemd/system/monkey.service
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Unit]
Description=Monkey http server deamon
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/monkey -D
ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
ExecReload=/bin/kill $MAINPID ; /usr/bin/monkey -D
PIDFile=/var/run/monkey/monkey.pid.80

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
systemctl --system daemon-reload
systemctl start monkey
')

At this point systemctl does not come back. I have to CTRL-C to get back to the shell prompt. Does not look like it is working.
