Hello I've built knot 2.0.0 and created a rpm for redhat 7 and have a problem with the knot.service systemd file. I've used the rpm SPECS and knot.conf, knot.service file from the src rpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=670057 and adapted the SPECS file slightly to get it working on redhat 7. The knot.service file has the following Service section: [Service] Type=notify ExecStart=/usr/sbin/knotd ExecReload=/usr/sbin/knotc reload Restart=on-abort ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/knotc checkconf If I use the type "notify" and start the service (systemctl start knot) the command does not complete but stays in the foreground. After a few seconds, minutes systemd gets a timeout and terminates the service: systemd: knot.service operation timed out. Terminating. knot[32446]: info: stopping server knot[32446]: info: shutting down systemd: Failed to start Knot DNS server daemon. systemd: Unit knot.service entered failed state. I now changed the knot.service file to use type "simple" [1] and that works and resolves the problem. However, I believe to have read that type "notify" should work. Is this a bug?
