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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service</a>) is acceptable here<code class="varname">. </code> 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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service</a>) for your service is set, it will be executed. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">12.09.2016 21:13, Федор Короткий пишет: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CAFX_x3U96RFqALZmZDvx7Eqjwxh2DK3rfozoHBmdaXfTa9M4Cg@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi, We are trying to setup a service that runs every day from 10:00 to 18:45. Starting is not a problem, we just used timer. But our solution for stopping the service seems ugly. We have second service with Type=oneshot which runs "systemctl stop first.service" at 18.45(by using second timer). Is there a better way to achieve this? </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
