[systemd-devel] start service only on specific exit status of some prog

[Marius Tolzmann]

hi..

since conditions specifying wheter a service should start are somehow 
limited to the existence of some files/directories/etc. i was searching 
for something more complex to handle conditional service starts.

is there a way to execute a program and take its exit status to evaluate 
the condition? like ConditionExec or whatever.

currently we need a service that only starts if the current hostname 
matches some value, i.e. only start service on hostA.

or we need to start a service only if some special IP is configured on a 
network interface.

is this already possible without getting a "failed" service?

bye m.
