Hi All - I have a systemd service file to start my application.

Part of my service file is: [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/path to start ExecStop=/path to stop RemainAfterExit=yes

This works fine "normally".

However - when I do a "yum update; and reboot" my script detects a kernel change and now does a number of "recompiling" steps for drivers and such before starting my application. Somewhere along the way that just stops. I'm half way into recompiling those drivers and it just stops.

Could it be you are hitting some default timeout ?

Maybe adding 'TimeoutSec=infinity' could help ?

Or, maybe moving your 'recompiling' stage to an ExecStartPre script ?

(no idea if either of the above will help)
