change services startup order?

[rev667]

Hi everyone,

I am getting headache trying to understand systemd and systemctl and units and stuff.

I have a Pogoplug V2, it's great.

Then for some reason I did a system update, had the issues with the filesystem woes, but it's fixed now, and boots fine.

However, hpptd service wasn't running, tried systemctl restart httpd and it failed.

After much headscratching, I discovered my pogoplug.service was taking port 80 (no idea why).

My solution was, stop the pogoplug.service, restart hpptd, then restart pogoplug.service.

This works, and leads me down the path of trying to figure out how to change the startup order of systemd

HELP! The man pages and various webpages are as cryptic as a very cryptic thing.

Could someone explain to this old geezer what i need to so to change the startup order of services?

Cheers

Edit the pogoplug.service and add After=<your http daemon.service> under [Unit] section. However, if you do this, and your http service doesnt start, pogoplug service wont start as well.

Thanks moonman!

found the file eventually, /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/pogoplug.service

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]
Description=my.pogoplug.com service daemon
After=network.target
After=httpd.service

[Service]
User=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh /user/local/cloudengines/pogoplug.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes

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

Will try this when I get home later.
