Ubuntu 22.04 - Systemd Service scenarios to Restart After Timeout with 'ExecStart=... Exit Code 1' scenarios
I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm experiencing an scenario with a systemd service on Ubuntu 22.04 that stops responding after a certain period. I've defined a service that should restart on failure, but after a timeout, the service transitions to a failed state and won't restart. My service is defined as follows: ```ini [Unit] Description=My Custom Service After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/my_script.sh Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 TimeoutStartSec=30 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` When I check the logs using `journalctl -u my-custom-service`, I see the following behavior after it fails to restart: ``` my_custom_service[1234]: behavior: Failed to execute script. my_custom_service[1234]: Systemd timeout reached; exiting ``` I have tested the script manually and it runs fine without any errors. Additionally, the script itself has no infinite loops or long-running processes that would cause delays. I also tried increasing the `TimeoutStartSec` to 60 seconds, but that did not change anything. Does anyone know why the service fails to restart even when `Restart=on-failure` is set? Any insights into potential misconfigurations or debugging tips would be greatly appreciated. I'd be grateful for any help. This is happening in both development and production on Linux.
