Systemd service and root script

sobota · 2013-05-31 20:18:01

I have simple "regroup.service" for systemd, it excue on start "script.sh". Systemd excue "regroup.service" on start but command in script requires root permission.

-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 316 05-31 21:24 /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/script.sh

Which way is the best for excue script via systemd?

Does it not work? I'm assuming many scripts/commands at startup require root privileges. Could you explain what the problem is and what the script does?

Script do:

#!/bin/sh

exist=false

start(){
fil=$(ls /dev/nvidia* | wc -l)

if [ $fil != "0" ]
then 
	exist=true
	chgrp video /dev/nvidia*
fi
}
stop(){

	if [ $exist ]
	then
		chgrp root /dev/nvidia*
	fi

}

case $1 in
	start|stop) "$1" ;;
	*) echo "You should pass correct options like start or stop" ;;
esac

When I call service "#systemctl start regroup" group is changed.

I doubt this is the best way to do it but if that is what happens, what's the problem? Isn't that what the script is supposed to do?

Problem is that after reebot with enable regroup.service group is default. It mean that script does't work.

Have you looked into using a udev rule? I've never used them but it seems like just the sort of thing they are designed for.

EDIT: Also, are you sure you need to do this at all? I thought that most of the point of those groups vanished with the switch to systemd?
