Autostart issues...

Postby odinb » Wed Jan 29, 2014 1:47 am

Hi!

Trying to autostart a pyhon script, and have tried all sorts of things, but cannot get it to work.
https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect

Current status:

Have put PlexConnect in this path: /home/PlexConnect-master

I then created a systemd service file like this (located in /etc/systemd/system/PlexConnect.service):

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=PlexConnect service
# Make sure we have functional network and logging available
After=syslog.target
After=network.target
After=default.target

[Service]
# Allow process forking or oneshot
ExecStart=/home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh start
Type=forking
RemainAfterExit=yes
# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down
TimeoutSec=10

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

To make it start on boot, I used:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable PlexConnect')

The PlexConnect.sh file is set to 755, and contains:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/bash

/home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py')

If I run it from the terminal, it works just fine:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm PlexConnect-master]# /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh
19:22:09 PlexConnect: ***

')

But if I try to run it using sysctl it fails:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm PlexConnect-master]# systemctl status PlexConnect.service

What am I doing wrong?

Ok, changed to:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=PlexConnect service
# Make sure we have functional network and logging available
After=syslog.target
After=network.target
After=default.target

[Service]
# Allow process forking or oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh
Type=simple
RemainAfterExit=yes
# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down
TimeoutSec=10

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

and now it starts when I do:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# systemctl start PlexConnect
[root@alarm ~]# ps -ef | grep Plex
root 247 1 0 21:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/sh /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh
root 248 247 23 21:21 ? 00:00:01 python2 ./PlexConnect.py
root 251 248 0 21:21 ? 00:00:00 python2 ./PlexConnect.py
root 252 248 1 21:21 ? 00:00:00 python2 ./PlexConnect.py

root 255 240 0 21:21 pts/0 00:00:00 grep Plex
[root@alarm ~]#
')

but not after reboot:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# ps -ef | grep Plex
root 242 240 0 18:00 pts/0 00:00:00 grep Plex

I don't know where you got these targets (default syslog).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Targets

Remove all of them except for the network target.

I get the feeling it is something with the network, I think it bails because the network is still coming up.

Unsuccesful boot:

you could try adding Restart=always or ExecStatPre = sleep 15

This time it works for about a minute and a half, then it shuts down. I set logging to high:

But it shuts down for some reason after 1.5 min, then starts up again:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '22:56:12 WebServer: WebServer: Serving HTTPS on 192.168.1.96 port 443.

22:57:41 ATVSettings: save settings
22:57:41 PlexConnect: shutdown
')

This behaviour seems cyclic, and does not happne if i start it maually...

Current config file:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/PlexConnect.service
[Unit]
Description=PlexConnect service
# Make sure we have functional network and logging available
Requires=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
# Allow process forking or oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh
Type=forking
RemainAfterExit=yes
# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down
Restart=always
RestartSec=60

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
[root@alarm ~]#
')

Re: Autostart issues...

Finally found a workaround!

Seems there is some kind of resource that is needed that is not up when the service starts and it therefor fails, and it seems an environment variable was missing also.

To get it working on Archlinux as a systemd service:

Create a systemd file (/etc/systemd/system/PlexConnect.service) containing this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=PlexConnect service

[Service]
# Allow one of simple, forking, oneshot, dbus, notify or idle process
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target')
"Type=oneshot" is used, since the timeout is disabled by default for this parameter.
If other type is used (simple, forking, dbus, notify or idle), the service will be killed after approximately 1.5 minute.

Create a PlexConnect.sh file (/home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.sh) containing this, and set it to 755:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
python2 /home/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py')
"sleep 5" is needed in order for other process to start during boot prior to this service.
"python 2" is needed to compensate for missing env variable.

To make it start on boot, use:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable PlexConnect')
Then reboot your machine:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/sbin/reboot')
After this, PlexConnect now starts at boot-up!

Useful commands to troubleshoot this are:

List active service Status:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl list-units')
Detailed log of what happened:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'journalctl -xn')

There is no missing environment variable. pyhon3 is the default. python 2 and 3 are not compatible, so for 2 to coexist python2 is there. Read ArchWiki python page for more info on the subject. Congrats for getting it to work
