systemd: enabling cherokee service as a `unit file`
- by Calvin Cheng
So I am learning how to use systemd to initialize my services automatically on server reboot. So of course, I first make sure I have systemd and some optional systemd related packages installed.
pacman -S systemd initscripts-systemd
Installation seems to go well and checking, I can see that systemd and its dependency libsystemd are installed. And the optional package initscripts-systemd is also installed:-
[root@li280-195 ~]# pacman -Ss systemd
extra/libsystemd 44-5 [installed]
systemd client libraries
extra/systemd 44-5 [installed]
system and service manager
extra/systemd-sysvcompat 2-2
sysvinit compat symlinks for systemd
community/initscripts-systemd 20120412-1 [installed]
Arch specific systemd initialization/bootup scripts for systemd
community/systemd-arch-units 20120412-2
Arch specific Systemd unit files
Next, I ensure that systemd is loaded up when my server reboots, via grub in grub's /boot/grub/menu.lst file like this:-
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/xvda ro init=/bin/systemd
Rebooting my server to check, all loads up well and I can check that systemd is operational via:-
systemctl list-unit-files
However, I don't see my cherokee initialization script (which is simply created at /etc/rc.d/cherokee when I installed cherokee earlier via pacman -S cherokee) being listed as one of my unit files.
So the question is, how do I do that? How do I put my cherokee initialization script under systemd's control?
