Howdy,
I tried dropping the L-Soft provided sysV script into /etc/init.d on my new RHEL7 listserv server, but found that stopping the service under systemd failed to kill all the ./lsv processes like it used to on RHEL5, leaving two ./lsv zombies to get in the way of maintenance operations. In general, killing the main Listserv PID as recommended by L-Soft just doesn't seem to kill Listserv anymore:
kill `cat $LSVHOME/spool/listserv.PID`
Since I couldn't find a reliable method to kill listserv all the way from the PID, I tried using the lcmd tool to issue a clean SHUTDOWN command to listserv. I couldn't convince listserv that root was authorized to run commands without making root@hostname a quiet, hidden Admin. Eventually I was able to convince lcmd to shutdown listserv, but I'm not sure if this is the best way.
Since I was re-writing the init script, I figured I might as well learn systemd. I came up with the following systemd unit file, (which relies on root@hostname to be a Listserv admin):
[Unit]
Description=Listserv mailing lists by LSoft
After=network.target postfix.service
[Service]
PIDFile=/home/listserv/spool/listserv.PID
ExecStart=/home/listserv/go bg
ExecReload=/home/listserv/go bg
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=42s
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/lcmd SHUTDOWN
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Anyone have a better, more reliable way to register Listserv under systemd?
