systemd servicefile for licensing server

[Joe Slam]

Hi there,

could somebody please give an example how a systemd -servicefile should look like in order to start the licensing server during boot?

thx in advance

Joe

Mine looks like this and does not work:

/etc/systemd/system/abbyy-licence.service










[Unit]
Description=ABBYY-OCR Licence Service
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/opt/ABBYYOCR11/abbyy-fre11-licensing-service start

# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down
TimeoutSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hi Joe,

sorry for the delay in the response. I hadn't been able to make the licensing service with systemd, and it should be noted that as of now, systemd is still officially not supported.

This said, I have finally managed to make it work with the following Unit file:

[Unit]

Description=ABBYY-OCR Licence Service

After=network.target network-online.target

 

[Service]

Type=forking

Environment=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ABBYYOCR11:/usr/local/lib/ABBYY/SDK/11/Licensing

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ABBYY/SDK/11/Licensing/LicensingService -start

ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/ABBYY/SDK/11/Licensing/LicensingService -stop

WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/lib/ABBYY/SDK/11/Licensing

 

# Give a reasonable amount of time for the server to start up/shut down

TimeoutSec=300

 

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Again, while this has put it to work, this isn't officially supported, so use it at your own risk.
