OpenVPN.service starts before network is up

Hello,
I have trouble getting an automatic OpenVPN connection at startup to work with systemd. Some troubleshooting revealed that OpenVPN always starts before the network is up (OpenVPN can't resolve the host adress).
However, I think I have found why it does not work how I want it to:

Whereas OpenVPN starts much earlier:
Mar 17 02:23:54 <system> openvpn@<profile>[333]: <Process started plus can not resolve Host stuff>
Mar 17 02:23:54 <system> openvpn@<profile>[333]: openvpn@<profile>.service failed.
I tried using
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
in the [email protected] and had enabled
systemd-networkd.service
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
but it still did not work as these services finished later as well:

My guess is, that OpenVPN won't work until this has happened:
Mar 17 02:25:19 <system> systemd-networkd[278]: tun0 : gained carrier
I now tried to modify the .service like this (inspiration taken from this thread):
[Unit]
Description=OpenVPN connection to %i
Requires:sys-devices-virtual-net-tun0.device
After:sys-devices-virtual-net-tun0.device
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/%i.ovpn --daemon openvpn@%i --writepid /run/openvpn@%i.pid
PIDFile=/run/openvpn@%i.pid
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
However, the status now looks as follows:
— [email protected] - OpenVPN connection to stud-wh
Loaded: error (Reason: Bad message)
Active: inactive (dead)
— sys-devices-virtual-net-tun0.device
Loaded: loaded
Active: inactive (dead)
At this point I have no more ideas left. Can anyone confirm my suspicion that OpenVPN needs tun0 gained first? How can I check within a service wheter tun0 has been gained or not? Many thanks!
Edit: The status of tun0 looks like this:
— sys-devices-virtual-net-tun0.device - /sys/devices/virtual/net/tun0
Loaded: loaded
Active: active (plugged) since Tue 2015-03-17 03:00:52 CET; 17min ago
Device: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tun0
but when I try to enable it it says: Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory. This somehow contradicts the earlier status. I guess it got 'plugged' as I started the OpenVPN connection manually?
Maybe OpenVPN has to wait for TAP aswell?

Ntpd starting before network connection up.

Hey I'm using open ntpd to sync time on my computer. But it seems to be running before my network connection is up, therefore not syncing the time.
I'm unfamiliar with systemd (and honestly, really despise it), so I'm having trouble fixing the problem. Here's the .service file:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/openntpd.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenNTP Daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ntpd -s
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Any ideas?

NTPD should automatically resume after connection has been established. See systemctl, systemctl status ntpd, journalctl.
You should see something like this
May 25 22:55:39 arch ntpd[642]: new interface(s) found: waking up resolver
May 25 22:55:42 arch dhcpcd[370]: enp4s0: leased 192.168.1.107 for 86400 seconds

May 25 22:55:51 arch systemd[715]: Time has been changed
May 25 22:55:51 arch systemd[1]: Time has been changed
If you want to visualize how NTP is running, I recommend installing Monitorix

Windows Embedded Standard 7 TCP/IP Services not completely started before user application loads

WES7 is set to autologon a user and launch a startup batch that launches my application. My application, through a series of LEDs, notifies the user when the system
is initialized and ready to go. What I've noticed is that even though the system is "up and running" TCP/IP services are not initialized yet. For example, RDP Server won't respond as well as ICMP/ping and FTP services. Sometime
later, maybe 20-30 seconds Windows TCP/IP services come alive and everything is okay. Once other thing to note is that I am using BIT Locker and when I turn it off, TCP/IP services, a majority of the time, are alive immediately at or around autologon.
My guess is that there is some contention when Windows is logging and starting services and the behavior for which services are started when is not always deterministic. Is there a way to guarantee TCP/IP services starting before other services?
I’ve messed around with several services in service manager but none seemed to fix the problem. One other item to note. I was able to issue a ping as my first command in my startup script to a fixed IP which appears to force TCP/IP services
to initialize. The problem with this “hack” is that I don't know any host IP addresses until my system has fully started. Plugging in the loopback address in the script or my own external IP did not work.
Thanks,
Joe

I forgot this is getting trickier to track this for WES7. There was this method in C#:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10855290/which-windows-service-ensures-network-connectivity
Workstation Service or DHCP Service might be good enough. Firewall should be late enough that the network
Of course there are other methods like doing a ping until a an address returns:

How to schedule a service to run before network goes down

Hi
I wrote a new smf service and added it to the repository.
When running with "stop" (when the system goes down) it sends an alert to another machine.
My question is :
How can I schedule that service to run just before network services go down?
another question, how can I schedule another service to run just BEFORE system is getting down?
Many Thanks
--me2unix

Dependencies appear to be really written and tested on the boot side, but they should work properly going down as well.
My first assumption is that you'd make a dependency on the network for your service. So it should be started after the network starts, and will wait for your service to quit before trying to shut down the network.
Now this would only apply to normal shutdowns. Also, there are mulitple services on the box that have network affects. You may need to read through several to understand their purpose and interaction to pick the correct one for your use. Probably the milestone/network will be the best choice.

How to call external processes before & after WL services start/stop

I set up WL Admin Server and Managed Server to run as Windows services.
I have the code to retire/re-activate in an ANT script and right now, I execute it via the command line.
Here's my question
I want to retire a SOA composite BEFORE my Managed Server Windows service stops and re-activate it AFTER the Window service starts up.
Do you know how to do that? Or if you have other suggestions, please let me know
Thanks
I'm using 11.1.1.2

I want to retire a SOA composite BEFORE my Managed Server Windows service stops and re-activate it AFTER the Window service starts up.
This means you need to check for the ManagedServer is in RUNNING state right?
in WLST you can get State of a given Managed Server with getState() method. write a WLST invoke method in ANT and try.

When starting up a Mountain Lion iMac, it takes along time before network logins are available.

When starting up a Mountain Lion iMac, it takes along time before network logins are available. There seems to be a huge delay getting the network up and running, and I'm not sure why. This isn't an issue for identical iMacs running Snow Leopard.
If I login with a local account, I see the ethernet registered as disconnected for at least a minute, then it pops up. If I switch to Snow Leopard, using the exact same hardware, network cable, jack, etc, it's instant.
Has anybody encountered anything similar?

No. I have a rMBP and a Mac Mini on a home LAN. The Mac Mini is connected via ethernet and the rMBP is WiFi. Both connect instantly to my network. Both are running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

When was the last time you did any of the following?
Restart your computer?
Repaired Permission & restarted your computer?
Run "Repair Disk" from your install DVD?
Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.

CMS tries to start before Oracle service - therefore cannot contact its CMS database

Post Author: patrickcoote
CA Forum: Deployment
HelloI have a windows XP sp 2 machineOracle 9i installedCrystal Server XI Rel 2 (evaluation copy)My problem is that the Central Management Server (CMS) is starting up before the OracleService that the CMS database is installed on. Therefore CMS cannot start automatically and any of the jobservers etc cannot register with CMS.In event viewer i get this:"The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress)."When the PC boots up fully I can go into Central Configuration Manager and start CMS manually and access all of its features with no problems.I looked at this sitehttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/LoadOrder.mspxThe program here lists processes in their startup order and I can see from there that CMS and the other Crystal services are started before the Oracle services, for example
BOBJCentralMS starts before OracleServiceBW (alphabetical order)In CCM, on the Dependancy tab for CMS (and all other CR servers) I have added :OracleServiceBWOracleMTSRecoveryServiceOracleOraHome92TNSListenerOracleOraHome92Agent(I thought that maybe this would tell CMS to wait for these to start before starting itself )But still get the same error(s)I can provide any more info if needed.Best regardsCootser

I have used Regedit.exe, regedt32.exe and Crystal Central Config manager, all of which aloow you edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BOBJCentralMS\DependOnServiceWhichever way I've loaded in the oracle services to that key (binary) has made no impact.The oracle services start after Crystal and the problem remains.What I have decided to do is use a batch file (see below) to start the services when the machine boots upThis way I know they will start, and it does not take too long

Windows could not start the Network Location Awareness service on Local computer

i have a dell inspiron 1501 laptop running windows vista home premium media center edition. i have recently been getting an error when trying to view networked computer saying "connection status: unknown" and "the dependency service or group failed to start". i started by disabling and re-enabling the driver and that did not help. i then brought up the services.msc thing and started looking at the networking services. i noticed that the Network Location Awareness service was not started so i tried to start it. i got a popup message saying "Windows could not start the Netwrok Location Awareness service on Local Computer. Error 0xc000096: 0xc0000096".
i also get an error popup when i try to start the Network List service saying "Windows could not start the Network List Service service on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start".
what might i have done to make this happen and what can i do to try to fix it?

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks.

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks. It has become unusable. Is there a software update to fix this issue?
I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card - I am not even being asked to put in the sim pin to unlock the sim
I have reset the network settings and reconnected to my wireless network. I can get onto the wireless network but the ipad does not connect to my carrier even though my mobile phone (same carrier) has great service.
It seems to me that due to the connecton issue the ipad then restarts itself so I cant even use it for the local apps that do not require any connection to run because every few minutes the unit reboots.
heading to an istore tomorrow to have it looked at but wondered if there is a software upate or setting I can change myself to fix this isse.
not happy after the cost of the unit and ony had a few days use before the issues started!

Thanks Alan,
in the end it was replaced at the Apple iStore, they restored factory settings and it was still playing up for them too. Weird but the replacement is working perfectly!!

[SOLVED] Stopping openvpn@ service on suspend

I'm trying to stop any running openvpn@ service either prior to suspend or immediately after resume. I've got a service file enabled:
[Unit]
Description=Root suspend actions
Before=sleep.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=-/home/firecat53/.local/bin/suspend.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target
and the helper script suspend.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# Helper script to stop openvpn on suspend
/usr/bin/systemctl stop $(/usr/bin/systemctl | grep openvpn@ | awk '{print $1}')
The helper script works fine when run by itself, but it fails when run from the service file, and openvpn is still running. I've also tried it post-resume, with the same results.
# journalctl
Sep 18 19:56:54 scotty suspend.sh[10544]: Failed to issue method call: Invalid argument
$ systemctl status suspend.sh
suspend.service - Root suspend actions
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/suspend.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2013-09-18 19:56:54 PDT; 6min ago
Process: 10544 ExecStart=/home/firecat53/.local/bin/suspend.sh (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Am I doing something wrong here, or is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Scott

Thanks for the tip! Solved by extending [email protected] in /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/suspend_conflict.conf
[Unit]
Conflicts=suspend.target sleep.target
Now it kills the openvpn@ service on suspend and doesn't restart it automatically on resume, which is the behavior I was looking for.

You'll have to run journalctl as root. It should be logged as UNIT=bar.service, SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=systemd, one example from me:
sudo systemctl start chrony.service
sudo systemctl stop chrony.service
sudo journalctl -o verbose --since today UNIT=chrony.service SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=systemd

Systemd / services start but do not listen to interfaces

Hello,
In the course of migrating from initscripts to systemd (mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts), I am facing a strange behaviour with some services: squid, bind (named), dhcpd which start normally but do not listen to the useful interface. For instance, for named, netsat does not show 192.168.42.2:53 (which is is my LAN interface), despite the process is running (systemd status named). It seems that with systemd there is a change to the way available interfaces are reported to the services (for those services, I have not explicitly configured the interface to listen to).
If I revert back to initscripts only (removing init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd from the kernel argument) everything is OK.
I am not running NetworkManager (relevant ?), my rc.conf is clean apart that I am still using the deprecated syntax (I need a bridge interface that NetworkManager cannot handle).
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 promisc"
br1="br1 192.168.42.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.42.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1 br1)
Thanks for any help.

I found the cause of the problem: legacy network service starts too late, after some other network daemons which do not see yet the interfaces.
I switched to netcfg and dropped network.
Seems to be OK now.
Glad you found the problem. Would you please edit your first post and mark as "Solved" so others searching for this will see it?

Starting up networking in Single User Mode

I have been searching the web for how to start up networking in Single User Mode.
For Leopard 10.5 I found this:
http://bitaddict.blogspot.com/2009/06/networking-in-mac-osx-single-user-mode.htm l
+*III Start the network*+
+The following commands have been working on Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard). If you have another version of OSX they might be different.+
+In order to get the network working we need to start the following four services+
+% launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.kextd.plist+
+% launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.notifyd.plist+
+% launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.configd.plist+
+% launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist+
For Tiger 10.4, I found this:
http://www.westwind.com/reference/OS-X/commandline/single-user.html
+*Starting daemons under 10.4:*+
+sh /etc/rc - Under version 10.4, the normal startup script can be run by hand, and it'll do the necessary work of getting the system (mostly) up and running, but not exit single-user mode or start the GUI.+
10.5 seems awfully complicated. Isn't there a simpler way to start up networking in Single User Mode in 10.5, like for 10.4 or even like how it was for 10.2?

sh /etc/rc
Should you have some problems with your Tiger machine, running this script will likely reveal them.
As for leopard, you could write a script to run these commands.
You do know that the up arrow does a command retrieval so that you can backspace and change the last portion of the command.
There is also the history command.
mac $ history
   8 /Users/mac/Documents/spotlight.rtf
...clipped...
  502 h
  503 shopt
  504 h
  505 h
  506 settings
  507 history
mac $ !503
mac $ shopt
cdable_vars off
cdspell on
checkhash off
...clipped...
# Allow editing of retrieved commands
  # Use the history command to show past commands and !10 to retrieve the
  # tenth command
  shopt -s histverify

OpenVPN.service starts before network is up
