[systemd-devel] Multiple starts of a service, what am I doing wrong?

[D.S. Ljungmark]

I've got the following unit:

[Unit]
Description=Random Submitter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target other.service
RequiresMountsFor=/data

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment=PYTHONPATH=/data
PrivateTmp=false
# Launches client config and others if needed
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/pre-submitter
ExecStart=/usr/bin/random-submitter
Restart=always
RestartSec=60

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target



With the following path unit activation:

[Path]
PathExists=/data/certificate.crt
PathExists=/data/submitter.ini

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Status tells us:

● submitter.service - Random Submitter
Loaded: loaded (/data/systemd/submitter.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2015-09-23 20:20:34 UTC; 13h ago

status=0/SUCCESS)

And the logs contain... a TON.. of those "started" messages.

journalctl --since -13h -u submitter |grep "Started" |wc -l

24341

So. What have I done wrong here?
