[Kea-users] Auto start

[Todd Simmons (todsimmo)]

Klaus,

Thanks for the info.  I did try the following:

Added a new user:  adduser kea -s /sbin/nologin
Created the file:   /etc/systemd/system/kea.service


[Unit]
Description=kea Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=kea
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/keactrl start
Restart=on-abort


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I type this command: systemctl start kea
Then I check it with this command:  systemctl status kea

[root at localhost todsimmo]# systemctl status kea
‚óè kea.service - kea Service
   Loaded: error (Reason: Invalid argument)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2016-07-20 14:01:45 CDT; 5min ago
 Main PID: 4111 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)


I’ve also tried calling the kea-dhcp4 command, but it doesn’t work either.

Any help is appreciated,



Todd

CentOS 7 uses systemd. I'm by no means an expert on it, but you may be able to shoehorn systemd into thinking that it's a managed service (there's apparently legacy support for SVR4-style init scripts) using systemctl. Again, being still new to systemd myself, I can't really offer much useful advice beyond that, but that's where I'd start looking.

hth,
Klaus

Kea Users,

I’m on CentOS 7 running the Kea 1.0.0 server without issues.  My only problem is that if my system is shutdown or rebooted I have to manually run “keactrl start” to get the server running again.  What options do I have to have the DHCP server startup automatically?  I tried chkconfig, but keactrl or the kea-dhcp4/6 are not listed as services.

Thanks for the help,



Todd
