How to re-execute a service in systemd?
In this case systemd will re-execute your service. To solve this, you could create a marker file in the run file system in ExecStartPost= and add ConditionFileExists= directive to check the existence of file. ConditionFirstBoot may also be interesting.
How to change the systemd service timeout value?
Use TimeoutStartSec, TimeoutStopSec or TimeoutSec (more info here) to specify how long the timeout should be for starting & stopping the process. Afterwards, this is how my systemd file looked: You can also view the current Timeout status by running any of these (but you’ll need to edit your service to make changes!
Can a oneshot be run before an exec.sh?
I have a shell script which generates this Environment file, but since I need that environment file before any Exec… commands execute, I cannot use ExecStartPre=generate_env_file.sh . Therefore, I have another service (generate_env_file.service) set to run that script as a oneshot: and I have multiple other service files which have:
How long does it take systemd service to finish?
Because there’s a lot of computation, this service takes around 70 seconds to finish. I didn’t configure any timeout for systemd, and didn’t change the default configs at /etc/systemd/system.conf, but still when I execute service SERVICE stop my service is timing out after 60 seconds. Checking with journalctl -b -u SERVICE.service I find this log:
How to run a systemd service without root?

RemainAfterExit=true is the way to go. In this case Systemd starts the service and Systemd considers it as started and live. However this doesn’t cover the use case of executing systemctl restart generate_env_file.service.
How are cgroups kept in sync in systemd?
Superficially, in legacy and hybrid modes it might appear that the parallel cgroup hierarchies for each controller are orthogonal from each other. In systemd they are not: the hierarchies of all controllers are always kept in sync (at least mostly: sub-trees might be suppressed in certain hierarchies if no controller usage is required for them).
Where does the delegation take place in systemd?
Delegation takes place at a specific cgroup: in systemd there’s a Delegate= property you can set for a service or scope unit. If you do, it’s the cut-off point for systemd’s cgroup management: the unit itself is managed by systemd, i.e. all its attributes are managed exclusively by systemd,
