[systemd-devel] systemd-hostnamed not shutting down when unused

[Umut Tezduyar Lindskog]

Hi,

I have tested it and it is working on git.

I dug this up to figure few things out on shutting down dbus activated
services when they are idle. Is it possible that follow up activation
request on a service is being ignored by systemd because application
has just recently quit?

I have this extreme case,

- Service shuts down
- Dbus gets a signal up on service shutdown (systemd doesn't get
SIGCHLD yet) and acknowledges disappearance of the service
- An activation request comes up on the service
- Dbus sends a dbus signal to systemd to activate the service
- Systemd receives the request but is still thinking service is
active, so ignores the request
- Systemd receives the SIGCHLD and changes the state of service to inactive.

This scenario is very unlikely but I am trying to figure out if there
are other possibilities. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Umut
