The error I get is “No such file or directory” but that is less than helpful.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Problem #2 – When I start FreeSWITCH with “systemd start freeswitch” it starts alright, but systemd does not detect FS running properly so it kills it after the specified 45 seconds elapses and restarts it. I can see this in top when FS gets a new pid.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Details<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>--------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It’s a new installation of Debian 8.1 and I chose to use systemd as the init process. I compiled FreeSWITCH from source using the latest Master as of late July. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The only section of the unit file that is supposed to be used by the “enable” command is the [Install] section and that simply points to the multi-user.target as expected.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I do not know what to do with the 2 other sample systemd files in /usr/src/freeswitch/debian, perhaps they are key. I have read up on systemd and the FS unit file looks good to my untrained eye. I did not use the sysvinit files that are also in that FS debian directory.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I successfully used systemd to start, stop, and enable a few other system services with success so there must be a tweak to the FS unit file that I am missing. I can start FS manually and it runs normally.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A Google search revealed a number of complaints that systemd would emit an error message with its “enable” command, yet it would successfully enable the service; this was with a few different services on Debian and Ubuntu, so it seems there might still be some weirdness with systemd on Debian.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Has anybody gotten systemd to start FS reliably?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Has anybody figured out how to make systemd detect FreeSWITCH running so that it doesn’t restart it repeatedly?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Once I figure out how to tame systemd I will document my findings in Confluence as these are the last steps that allow you to get FS up and running quickly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>---<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bote<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
