Creating a .service File

[Justin Brown]

Hello,

I'm sure this is a relatively simple problem, but I haven't been able to
find any guidance on my problem.

I'm trying to auto-start a DBus service when my client program starts. I've
setup a .service file, but it's not working.

My service name is

org.fandingo.PMP

I register the name with a python server with

 name = dbus.service.BusName('org.fandingo.PMP', session_bus)
 object = PMPService(session_bus, '/PMPService', PMPProxy())

I can connect to this fine if I manually run the server code with the
following from the client

remote = bus.get_object('org.fandingo.PMP', '/PMPService')

So the server and client both work if invoked manually. If I just try the
client, I get the following Python exception

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.fandingo.PMP
was not provided by any .service files

Here is my .service file

-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.fandingo.PMP.service

These permissions and SELinux labels are identical to the other .service
files. (I've even tried a good ol' `setenforce 0`.)

The .service file contains

[D-Bus Service]
Name=org.fandingo.PMP
Exec=/home/justin/code/python/pmp/Server.py
User=justin

pmpserver.py is executable and has the correct shebang.

Does anyone see any problems with my configuration?

Thanks,
Justin Brown
