Move systemd service files to a separate directory Since service files might be used by many distros (arch, rpm-based, gentoo, mindriva, mageia) I think it would be useful to symlink to standard ones (and copy and edit them if differences are needed). 2012-10-25 22:45:33 +00:00			`[Unit]`

Add documentation key to systemd service files Documentation for systemd service files can be automatically viewed using systemctl help servicename if this field is present. Thus add the relevant man page, the local and online documentation to the documentation key. 2017-05-24 09:14:39 +00:00			`Documentation=man:salt-minion(1) file:///usr/share/doc/salt/html/contents.html https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/contents.html`
salt-minion.service: Start after salt-master.service On systems where you have both services, salt-master and salt-minion, enabled, you want that salt-minion.service starts after salt-master.service so that the minion will be able to connect to the master on first attempt. 2017-04-03 09:43:00 +00:00			`After=network.target salt-master.service`

Use NotifyAccess=all in all unit files When systemd-python is not installed, systemd notification falls back to using the systemd-notify for service notification. This cannot be used however unless the unit has NotifyAccess=all set. The particular use case for this is when Salt is installed using pip. We don't put systemd-python into the requirements.txt because we can't be sure that the minion supports systemd, so pip installs won't necessarily have systemd-python available. 2016-10-19 15:08:10 +00:00			`NotifyAccess=all`
