[RADIATOR] radiator systemd unit file

[Rauno Tuul]

Hi,

To take even more benefits from systemd, here's our live enviroment
systemd file.
Pay attention of the filename "radius at .service", which takes config file
name as variable %i. Very useful and handy, when running multiple
instances of radiator.

$ systemctl enable radius at accounting
$ systemctl start radius at accounting
This starts radiusd with accounting.cfg.

As the radiator uses mysql db, the mysql.service is required. Otherwise
it can be omitted.

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/radius at .service
[Unit]
After=network-online.target mysql.service
Wants=network-online.target mysql.service

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure
TimeoutSec=10
User=radius
ExecStart=/usr/bin/radiusd -foreground -config_file /etc/radius/%i.cfg

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


The only thing I'm missing in systemd, is to somehow pass
SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 (traceup/tracedown) to existing process. Half automated
alternative I use is:
$ kill -USR2 `pgrep -f accounting`


kind regards,
