Server runs with command "bash server-start.sh" but not with service

Hi,

 

I have created a server without problems.

 

But last week with a systemctl stop zomboid.service and starting again it stops with these last messages:

Aug 19 13:46:29 zomboid systemd[1]: zomboid.service: Succeeded.

 

If I try to execute manually it runs well.

 

Here the service config:

[Unit]
Description=Project Zomboid Server
After=network.target

[Service]
PrivateTmp=true
Type=simple
User=pzuser
WorkingDirectory=/opt/pzserver/
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "exec /opt/pzserver/start-server.sh </opt/pzserver/zomboid.control"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo save > /opt/pzserver/zomboid.control; sleep 15; echo quit > /opt/pzserver/zomboid.control"
Sockets=zomboid.socket
KillSignal=SIGCONT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here the socket:

 

[Unit]
BindsTo=zomboid.service

[Socket]
ListenFIFO=/opt/pzserver/zomboid.control
FileDescriptorName=control
RemoveOnStop=true
SocketMode=0660
SocketUser=pzuser

 

I don't know why it stops the service at the end.

 

Many thanks for your help

ok many thanks

Did you follow this section in the Wiki?


Additionally, we do not recommend running it as a service at this point, this specific Wiki part was done by another player.

 

[jvaiguade]

Yes i followed all these steps from the wiki.

 

First week it worked well

As said, the server isn’t built to be run as a service. We can’t recommend or support doing so. There may be various issues with it running as a service and we do not officially support it at the moment.
