Re: [Sshguard-users] fedora21 systemd and journalctl with sshguard

[James H. <jam...@gm...>]

I use sshguard on FC 21. Below is the systemd unit file I use. You should
copy it to /etc/systemd/system/sshguard.service. Edit the ExecStart lineto
use the command line you want, be sure to use the correct path to sshguard,
yours might be /usr/local/sbin/sshguard
Then make sure the running systemd finds the new file ala "systemctl
daemon-reload'. You can start sshguard just once with 'systemctl start
sshguard' and use 'systemctl status sshguard' to verify it loaded without
problems. To have systemd start sshguard on boot use 'systemctl enable
sshguard'.

systemd is much more complicated than bsd init or sysv init, but it really
does have some useful features. As you can see this unit file will restart
the daemon should it exit or crash. Systemd is also integrated with
containers allowing it to easily start each daemon in an isolated
environment.
