背景

团队基于 Armbian 设计了一个 LoRa 网关，它要求上电后开始运行主程序 packet_forwarder (它实现 LoRa<-(转)->UDP 与服务器通信)。
这本来是一个简单的需求，将其设计成一个 service 加载到 systemd 中就可以完成，该 rime_gateway.service 代码如下：

[Unit]
Description=Rime LoRaWAN Gateway

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/rime/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd
ExecStart=/home/rime/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/start_gateway.sh
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

语法解释请参考 Systemd 入门教程：命令篇

不稳定的服务

当使用 systemctl start rime_gateway.service 手动启动时，它工作得很好。

然而，当 Armbian 上电自启动后，使用 systemctl status rime_gateway.service 查看发现该服务已经停止工作：

rime_gateway.service - Rime LoRaWAN Gateway
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rime_gateway.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Apr 20 06:51:46 orangepizero systemd[1]: Failed to start Rime LoRaWAN Gateway.

上面的语句显示服务重启太快，系统退出重启。

使用 journalctl -u rime_gateway.service 查看日志，系统以 100ms 间隔 5 次重启都失败。

查看网关日志，发现失败的原因是网络没有建立成功 tail -f /tmp/start_gateway.sh.log

ERROR: [up] connect returned Network is unreachable

修改启动顺序

很明显，该服务依赖于网络的建立，因此，首先添加如下语句

After=network.target

这个启动顺序生效了吗？为此，我们导出并查看了启动顺序

systemd-analyze plot > boot.svg

使用 chrome 浏览器打开 boot.svg 发现：先启动 network.target，后启动 rime_gateway.service

检测故障重启

为了让服务更健壮，检测到失败退出时自动重启。为此，添加了如下的代码。

systemd 将尝试永久重启服务

StartLimitIntervalSec=0

每隔 1 秒重启服务是个好主意，以避免在出现问题时对服务器施加太大压力。

RestartSec=1

更多自动重启请参考 使用systemd创建Linux服务

稳定的服务

最终的 rime_gateway.service 代码如下所示

[Unit]
Description=Rime LoRaWAN Gateway
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/rime/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd
ExecStart=/home/rime/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/start_gateway.sh
Restart=always
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

使用 systemctl status rime_gateway.service 和 journalctl -u rime_gateway.service 查看日志，服务正常启动。

在异常的情况下，先拔出网线，再重启 Armbian，发现 systemd 以每隔 1 秒间隔启动服务，直到网络恢复正常为止（本案例重启 78 次）。
