We are looking to do an interim fix on top of CD Unix 6.3 targeting early Q2, 2024 ( April). The fix shall include a sample systemd unit service file in the etc directory, as well as CDU start/stop scripts which the service will use. Customer’s request for type=simple is technically not feasible, because CDU demonizes itself during startup. Customer’s objection to type=forking is that they would have to provide start/stop scripts, but that’s not a problem anymore after the fix.
Thanks,
Product Management
Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it thoroughly with my team. Unfortunately we won't be able to accept it. From a technical perspective using the simple startup method isn't valid for a daemonized application. We do intend to improve documentation of startup scripts to provide guidance on how you might create and maintain scripts on common UNIX/Linux operating systems. Thank you for opening this request and please don't hesitate to open any new ones that you'd like us to consider.
Sincerely,
Chris Sanders
