Re: [Motion-user] Motion Version 4.01 process end

[Riccardo S. <r.s...@gm...>]

The John Baker replay worked!

This is my motion.service:

[Unit]
Description=Run motion
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/home/pi/motion/motion.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I suppouse the problem was due to confusing motion.service file name, in
fact at /etc/init.d there was the motion shell startup script for the old
rc.d system. So i didn't know what happened when i run systemctl
enable/start motion.

Thank for your help
