Refer to TC-549 in order how to build it. Show status of a service # systemctl show syslog.socket Stop a running service: # systemctl stop syslog.socket Enable a service: # systemctl enable syslog.socket Verify the service status: # systemctl is-enabled syslog.socket Disable the service # systemctl disable syslog.socket Verify the service status: # systemctl is-enabled syslog.socket EXPECTED OUTCOME: 2. Information should be displayed for the service 3. The service is stopped 4. The service is enabled 5. It is displayed that the service appears to be enabled 6. The service is disabled 7. It is displayed that the service appears to be disabled Actual outcome: 1. When running systemctl stop syslog.socket, the service is not stopped: root@qemux86:~# systemctl stop syslog.socket root@qemux86:~# ps | grep syslog 100 root 2480 S /sbin/syslogd -n -C 2. When running systemctl enable syslog.socket, following issue appear: root@qemux86:~# systemctl enable syslog.socket The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). 3. When disabling the service, systemctl shows the syslog.socket as being static and not as disabled/enabled: root@qemux86:~# systemctl disable syslog.socket root@qemux86:~# systemctl is-enabled syslog.socket static Cheers, Ionut C 39911 1 sstncr 2014-01-17 16:20:43 +0000 This isn't a bug, the TC should be updated. syslog.socket isn't a good option for a systemd unit file to test. syslog.socket is a static unit file and that's the intended behaviour. avahi-daemon.service it's much better choice. 39938 2 sstncr 2014-01-20 18:32:11 +0000 Ionut: can we update the TC and pick another unit file to test? avahi-daemon.service is a good choice. syslog.socket it's a static unit file and you can't use enable/disable for those. systemctl list-unit-files whill show you which units are static and which are enabled/disabled, so don't pick one from the static list (think of those as dependecies, they are started by a service file, in this case busybox-syslog.service or syslogd.services starts the socket) 39946 3 ionutx.chisanovici 2014-01-21 08:53:45 +0000 Ok, this will be closed. Verified. Ionut C 42675 4 ionutx.chisanovici 2014-04-15 12:55:55 +0000 Verified and closed. IonutC
