Cannot enable ralph service with systemd
Steps to reproduce
- Restart VM in which ralph runs
- ralph is not automatically started
-
systemctl enable ralph
returns an error
Expected behavior
We can use systemctl enable ralph
so ralph is automatically started after boot.
Actual behavior
systemctl enable ralph
returns an error:
root@ralph:~# systemctl enable ralph.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means 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, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
