Simple vs forking services

[jhillyerd]

Does pleaserun have support for simple services (processes that do not fork & background themselves)?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd#Service_types

Couldn't find any mention of what type of service it expects in the docs/wiki. My service (inbucket) can create a PID file for itself, but cannot background without an external helper.

Yes this is what pleaserun aims to solve :)

If you show me the command you want to run, I can give you the pleaserun invocation that will work for you. On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 3:38 PM Jordan Sissel <[email protected]> wrote:

Thanks, I'm not sure how much control I will end up having, since my plan is to use goreleaser to run fpm w/ pleaserun...

This is the systemd unit I include for ppl to use: https://github.com/jhillyerd/inbucket/blob/master/etc/ubuntu/inbucket.service
