[systemd-devel] How to stop service by timer

[Mikhail Kasimov]

Hello!

How does your service work from 10:00 till 18:45 -- with any 
interruption during this time-range, or constantly? I'm asking, because 
I'm not sure if RuntimeMaxSec= directive 
(https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service) is 
acceptable here|.

So, you start your service by timer on 10:00 and due to 
RuntimeMaxSec=31500 in [Service] section of your service, service should 
stop on 18:45:00 it should be stopped with exit code 0. But if it 
happens on 18:45:01 -- will stop with exit with failure state. In that 
case, if FailureAction= directive 
(https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service) for 
your service is set, it will be executed.
