[systemd-devel] echo message not coming on terminal with systemd

[Navneet Sinha]

I have systemd service, say xyzWarmup.service.

Here is the service file

    [Unit]
    Description=Xyz agent.
    After=fooAfter.service
    Before=fooBefore1.service
    Before=fooBefore2.service

    [Service]
    # During boot the xyz.sh script reads input from /dev/console.  If the
user
    # hits <ESC>, it will skip waiting for xyz and abc to startup.
    Type=oneshot
    StandardInput=tty
    StandardOutput=tty
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/xyz.sh start

    RemainAfterExit=True
    ExecStop=/usr/bin/xyz.sh stop

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target


Following is the part of xyz.sh.

    #! /bin/bash


    #
    ### BEGIN INIT INFO


    # Required-Stop: Post


    ### END INIT INFO



    XYZ=/usr/bin/Xyz
    prog="Xyz"
    lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/$prog
    msg="Completing initialization"

    start() {
         # Run wfw in background


        ulimit -c 0
        # wfw has a default timeout of 10 minutes - just pick a large value


        wfw -t 3600 xyz abc >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        PID=$!

        # Display the message here after spawning wfw so Esc can work


        echo -n $"$msg (press ESC to skip): " > /dev/console

        while [ 1 ]; do
            read -s -r -d "" -N 1 -t 0.2 CHAR || true
            if [ "$CHAR" = $'\x1B' ]; then
                kill -9 $PID 2>/dev/null
                # fall through to wait for process to exit


            fi

            STATE="`ps -p $PID -o state=`"
            if [ "$STATE" = ""  ]; then
                # has exited


                wait $PID 2>/dev/null
                if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                    echo "[ OK ]"
                    echo
                    exit 0
                else
                    echo "[ FAILED ]"
                    echo "This is failure"
                                   exit 1
                fi
            fi
        done
    }
 I am unable to see any echo message, after this line in code "if [
"$STATE" = ""  ];". When this script runs during boot I just this the
following message coming from the script

     Completing initialization (press ESC to skip):

I don't see "[ OK ]" or "[ FAILED ]" on my screen.

When I was using this script as initscript in Fedora14, I used to see these
messages. Once, I have shifted to systemd. I have started seeing this issue.

systemd version is :  systemd-201-2.fc18.9.i686 and
systemd.default_standard_output=tty

Kindly help.

Thanks
Navneet
