[systemd-devel] [EXTERNAL] Re: ExecStop doesn't get called when service crashes

[Baskaran, Vinothkumar]

Hi Reindal,

Apologies if I the subject is misleading.

I meant that when the main process in the service gets crashed, ExecStop doesn't get invoked. In the below example, I am killing the main process 'CcspCrSsp' and expect the path '/tmp/CcspCrSsp_Restarted' to be created. However, it is not getting created. Please let me know if my expectation is correct or ExecStopPost is the right way to handle it.

I tried replacing it with ExecStopPost, it gets invoked successfully.  But, ExecStopPost cannot be used, since it gets invoked on failed cases too.

your subject "ExecStop doesn't get called when service crashes" simply makes no sense at all then  because that's what a failed case is
