[systemd-devel] Failed state DBUS notification not received on sigkill of service

[prashantkumar dhotre]

Hi
Failed state DBUS notification  for  ActiveState property
is not received on  sigkill of service, for the service that supports
restart ('Restart' value in service faile). But i see that unit goes to
failed state in journal logs

++
Sep 25 08:52:00 mynode systemd[1]: alarmd.service: Unit entered failed
state.
Sep 25 08:52:00 mynode systemd[1]: alarmd.service: Triggering OnFailure=
dependencies.
Sep 25 08:52:00 mynode systemd[1]: alarmd.service: Failed with result
'signal'.
Sep 25 08:52:00  mynode   systemd[1]: alarmd.service: Service hold-off time
over, scheduling restart.
Sep 25 08:52:00  mynode   systemd[1]: Stopped "Alarm agent on RE".
Sep 25 08:52:00  mynode   systemd[1]: Started "Alarm agent on RE".

Logs from my app which monitors dbus notifications:

Updated SubState=running for service alarmd.service in cache contents:

If service does not support restart (Restart=no), then I see that we get
 Failed state DBUS notification , as  ' ActiveState=failed '.

1) Is this a bug ?
2) Why service is put to failed state on sigkill ?
3) if putting service into failed state on sigkill is right thing to do ,
they why dbus notification  is not being sent in case of service that
supports restart.

Thanks for your help
