I have stumbled on a race condition on systemd-run --scope command. Due to race
condition, unit might show up as active/running even though there is no process
in the cgroup.
The impact is big for us. We are starting some legacy scripts as scopes and a
script might have something like this in the beginning.
systemd-run --unit hello --scope /myscript
#!/bins/h
. /etc/configuration
if [ $ENABLED == 'no' ]
return
Later on, when the script is enabled with ENABLED=yes, running systemd-run
--unit hello --scope /myscript is returning immediately since systemd is
considering hello.scope already active.</pre>
