If:
$ journalctl -u vgauth.service
gives you the right output then all is fine.
I'd not want to touch sysV files these days anymore - nobody uses and nobody should use them anymore.
For systemd services are supposed to not daemonize to be more under control by systemd.
So adding -s which is defined as:
printf("\t-s\tRun in daemon mode.\n");
is wrong IMHO.
I see and agree the argument of vmtoolsd having a local log file and that consistency would be nice.
But IMHO a solution to that would be more towards making vmtoolsd to log to journal one or another way. Is vmtoolsd currently logging.
If you or people "need" an extra log file I think something like an rsyslog rule in /etc/rsyslog.d/ might be appropriate.
One could map event sources to a file they are logged.
But since that is double-logging that usually needs a good reason.
Are there complains that the logs through journalctl are not accessible that would make this wanted?
Marking incomplete until clarified in a discussion if/what we would want to change.
Hi Oliver, /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 856429# 10
I agree with Bernd on https:/
With sysV init being even "less meant to be considered" on Ubuntu than on Debian (and even there it is not more a big thing).
