[systemd-devel] Notify type service as non-root user fails

[KIESEL, BRIAN S]

I have a simple example of a service unit and bash script on rhel7 using Type=notify that I was trying to get working.  When the service unit is configured to  start the script as root things work as expected.  When adding User=testuser it fails.  While the script initially starts (as seen on process list), Journalct -xe reports many lines like the following and the service eventually timesout.  I am not even clear what these referenced PIDs are associated with as they don't exist in the process list.

Jul 15 13:37:25 tstcs03.ingdev systemd[1]: Cannot find unit for notify message of PID 7193.
Jul 15 13:37:28 tstcs03.ingdev systemd[1]: Cannot find unit for notify message of PID 7290.
Jul 15 13:37:31 tstcs03.ingdev systemd[1]: Cannot find unit for notify message of PID 7388.
Jul 15 13:37:34 tstcs03.ingdev systemd[1]: Cannot find unit for notify message of PID 7480.
