hey folks, we are migrating our tomcat setup over to centos 7. Im converting init-scripts over to systemd services and whatnot.. One thing that Ive noticed is that my systemd startup script cant seem to write to /var/run as a non-root user to drop a pidfile.. If I create a directory in /var/run owned by my user, it gets wiped out on reboot.
Ive searched and found this
https://blog.hqcodeshop.fi/archives/93-Handling-varrun-with-systemd.html
which says to use ExecStartPre to fudge creating directories in /var/run so what non-root users can write there..
Is that the suggested way to do this? It seems awful kludgey.
