[systemd-devel] check to see if service is still alive

[Thomas Güttler]

Hi,

I have a service which sends "I am alive" (WATCHDOG=1) via sd_notify.

Sometimes the custom service fails, but still sends the WATCHDOG=1.

Now "systemctl status" says that the service is running, but in reality
it is failed.

Is there a way in systemd to do a check to see if the service is up?

Can you understand my situation?

What is your advice?

Regards,
   Thomas Güttler
