Greetings,
I am attempting to learn to use systemd. I have an IPtbales script I intend
to transform from a bash script to a systemd service file.
It has lines such as
iptables -A INPUt -p tcp ......-j ACCEPT
which I intend to transform to
ExecStart=iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ......-j ACCEPT
however it has 'conditionally-processed lines like these
if [ something=1 ];
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp ......-j ACCEPT
fi
where $something is an environmental variable set in an external file.
I read hrough the systemd manual page on unit files
( http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html )
and the closet match I see is the use of two lines
ConditionFileNotEmpty=SomeFile
ConditionNull=0
where I presume one could create 'SomefFile' with something in it to trigger
a logical 0 so avoiding processing the service file.
If I am not wong this would only relate to the processing of a service file
that that THIS unit file relates to.
And this would conflict with my requirement as I want ONE largish IPtables
service file.
The question is; is there a way of conditionally procesing lines in systemd
service files such as the following
ExecStart=/path/to/executible1
ExecStart=/path/to/executible2
some condition satisfied ( for example ConditionFileNotEmpty=SomeFile .....
)
ExecStart=/path/to/executible3
..back to 'unconditional processing
ExecStart=/path/to/executible4
I also read through the service file manual-page
( http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html )
and I am wondering if
ExecStartPre= and ExecStartPost=
could be used and if so how so
Advice will be appreciated
sincerely
