STATUS: RUNNING BUILD: 1.6_M2_RC1: e4c23f7bcb79072ea6028fbdf8f3f0dc17a63371 ENVIRONMENT: Multiple environments STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Prepare a core-image-minimal image with systemd support and launch it. 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 Start a stopped service: # systemctl start syslog.socket Restart a stopped service: # systemctl restart syslog.socket EXPECTED OUTCOME: 2. Information should be displayed for the service 3. The service stops 4. The service starts Actual outcome: Systemctl doesn't stop the service: root@qemux86:~# systemctl stop syslog.socket root@qemux86:~# systemctl status syslog.socket syslog.socket - Syslog Socket Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2014-01-17 08:42:36 UTC; 6min ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/syslog Listen: /run/systemd/journal/syslog (Datagram) Jan 17 08:42:36 qemux86 systemd[1]: Stopping Syslog Socket.

This isn't a bug, it's intended behaviour. You should stop/start the .service file for syslog (be it busybox-syslog or whatever is in that image). systemd here restarts the socket that's why it's still running (because it's required by the service file). I've updated the TC to use avahi-daemon.service
Ok, this will be closed. Verified. Ionut C
