[Solved] Running mpd as user mpd with systemd without using mpd.conf

Maybe this is tivial, but I searched about an hour without any results. I want to run mpd as user mpd. I cant use the mpd config file since mpd set the UID and GID explicitely resulting in mpd not having the necessary supplementary groups to access the locally shared music on my pc. Well I tried to run mpd with systemd by
# systemctl start mpd
and the systemd contains the user mpd
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/mpd.service
[Unit]
Description=Music Player Daemon
After=network.target sound.target
[Service]
User=mpd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon
# allow MPD to use real-time priority 50
LimitRTPRIO=50
LimitRTTIME=-1
# move MPD to a top-level cgroup, as real-time budget assignment fails
# in cgroup /system/mpd.service, because /system has a zero real-time
# budget; see
# http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime/
ControlGroup=cpu:/mpd
# assign a real-time budget
ControlGroupAttribute=cpu.rt_runtime_us 500000
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
but it did not run as mpd.
Well how can I run mpd as mpd? Is there a way to do it like with dropbox: dropbox@<user>.service

Glad you solved it. Was just typing a response and I'll still add two remarks:
The ps|grep output showed that you run grep as root, not mpd itself (which won't have a space in the command -- the second time it only worked because the mpd group is preceded by a space).
It sounds like it took you a while to find the drop-in configuration snippet in the mpd.service.d directory. These drop-in are shown in `systemctl status`, which is something you'd normally check in situations like these, and that might help to discover them more quickly.

Syncing contacts with iTunes without using iCloud

Since the new iTunes Version 11.1.3 it seems not possible to sync contacts, browser bookmarks and other things via WLAN sync. I don't want to see my contacts on Apple servers in order to be synced via iCloud.
Is there any possibility to sync an iPhone with iTunes without using iCloud. I'm quite angry Apple not leaving the decision on how to sync my iPhone up to me.

Can we create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP, or Java

Hi,
I would like to know if we can create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP or Java. We want to develop an offline solution using Interactive forms, but would like to use only ABAP for creating the forms. All the documents so far either refer to creating the forms, in reference to / in sync with: ISR (Service Requests), GP (General Procedures) or Java. Can this be done with ABAP alone?
Regards,
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,
You should be able to create Adobe Interactive Forms using only the ABAP stack (without GP, Java, etc). Please refer to the thread below. Hope it helps.

[solved] How to restart all services with systemd?

I had the habit of restarting all daemons after an upgrade so to make sure the newest libraries, configuration files etc were loaded. I did that with a shell script that restarted the daemons in order which they were listed in rc.conf. With systemd I could do something similar by first getting a list of running services and ordering a 'systemcrl restart <servicename>' for each. But since systemd keeps track of dependencies I wonder if that would be the way to do it. Also I would need to filter out 'one shot' type services that are only needed on bootup.
<edit>restart instead of reload</edit>
<edit>solved it with a little script</edit>

I think that's what systemctl snapshot does.
snapshot [NAME]
Create a snapshot. If a snapshot name is specified, the new snapshot will be named after it. If none is specified an automatic snapshot name is generated. In either case, the snapshot name used is printed to STDOUT, unless --quiet is specified.
A snapshot refers to a saved state of the systemd manager. It is implemented itself as a unit that is generated dynamically with this command and has dependencies on all units active at the time. At a later time the user may return to this state by using the isolate command on the snapshot unit.
Snapshots are only useful for saving and restoring which units are running or are stopped, they do not save/restore any other state. Snapshots are dynamic and lost on reboot.
Then, isolate emergency.target or rescue target and switch to the snapshot.

[solved] Cannot activate wake on lan with systemd

I have activated successfully wake on lan with systemd, following these guidelines :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wol#With_systemd
My [email protected] is:
[Unit]
Description=Wake-on-LAN for %i
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ethtool -s %i wol g
Type=oneshot
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
It worked nicely until I recently had to reinstall my server (following a disk replacement). Since then systemd fails to activate wake on lan.
Output from systemctl status wol@enp0s4 :
● [email protected] - Wake-on-LAN for enp0s4
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since ven. 2014-07-25 11:21:28 CEST; 23min ago
Process: 181 ExecStart=/usr/bin/ethtool -s %i wol g (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 181 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Output from ethtool enp0s4|grep "Wake" :
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: d
If I explicitly start the service with systemctl start wol@enp0s4, then ethtool enp0s4|grep "Wake" shows:
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: g
My guess is that the service does not start at the correct timing at boot.
I have also tried wol-systemd package from the AUR without success.

[solved] Setting up a "persistent" ramdisk with systemd

I have been doing much thinking in terms of using a ramdisk (tmpfs) to mitigate, or rather postpone SSD write limit issues as well as to enhance system performance. After following the steps described in the Ramdisk wiki page to no avail, I realized I have a systemd setup. I have also found another topic describing how to "hack" init scripts into the systemd build but I am not sure this is the "right" (or most elegant) way. Essentially I would like to move/copy several folders to a ramdisk and have its contents written back to disk after system suspend/shutdown. Just general guidelines would suffice!
(1) How should I go about setting up a "persistent" ramdisk with systemd? How would I setup "before" and "after" hooks?
(2) From what I have gathered so far, it appears that for the above, using rsync rather than cp would be a more efficient way to write ramdisk contents to disk. Is this true?
(3) The example described in the Ramdisk wiki page loads pacman cache and lib into a ramdisk. How about completely putting /var to a ramdisk?
(4) Will doing what I have described above (including /var) possibly leave my system in an inconsistent state?
I am trying to get this running on a computer with 8 GB of RAM on which memory usage rarely goes above 2 GB. I am not too worried about power failures as what I intend to put on the ramdisk is not mission critical (with the possible exception of /var).
I apologize in advance if I posted my concerns in the wrong subforum as I am both a Linux rookie and an Arch noob; I have also tried using the search function but I may have formulated my query improperly (the answers seemed irrelevant!) Thanks in advance for your time and please let me know if I have omitted important details.

#create 'ramdisksave' directory using terminal

#edit grub config or custom_40. This allocates max ram for ramdisks
kernel /vmlinuz ramdisk_size=2048000
#edit rc.local add these lines to create & mount ramdisk at boot
mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/ram1 2048000
mount /dev/ram1 /home/ramdisksave
#copies 'ramdisksave' contents to ramdisk save as *.sh make exe!
cp -a /home/ramdisksave/. /mnt/ram1
#saves ramdisk contents to ramdisksave folder save as *.sh make exe!
cp -a /mnt/ram1/. /home/ramdisksave/
#deletes ramdisk contents save as *.sh make exe!
cd /mnt && rm -rf ram1/*
#deletes ramdisksave contents save as *.sh make exe! DANGEROUS!!
cd /home && rm -rf ramdisksave/*
for safety better to create ramdisksave on another partition. Scripts can be crontabbed, can add tar compression options to save space, use rsync to copy only new etc etc.......script lines can be added to r.sysinit for startup and rc.shutdown for load and save at startup and shutdown.

Creating user accounts with OIDDAS and use them from the OS

Hi,
I have a customer that is experiencing an error creating user accounts from OIDDAS, and use that user accounts from the operating system.
My customer is using OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.2.0, and that version is not longer available to download, then, I will try in my own environment
with OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.3.0.
And the question is the following: is supported to create user accounts with OIDDAS and expect that users can work with OAS4OS and be
able to authenticate in the operating system?
For the reference, SR# 7222351.993:
Thanks,

Hi Jacco,
I didn't see your post before.
Nop, unfortulately I don't have a document with that. I just received that answer
from development (related to the plugin for AD that is not certified, and DAS is
not intended to work with OAS4OS).
Anyway, about the plugin to work with AD, this is working for me; at least I tested
it by configuring the plugin, I configured synchronization, the mapping file, I did
the bootstrap, and the accounts that were bootstraped now shows the OS attributes
on DAS.

Single user authorization ... without using profile..

If we create a role ZFIAPP_TRANSACTIONS for the finance dept. and assign it to 8 user's. after that a user request for another t-code authorization w'll have to edit this role rather than creating a new one and assign the t-code into this role.. it w'll effect to all 8 user's which they already have the same role my question is there any way to have changes only to one user's not other's. also I don't want to create a role and assign to a single user ....
and is there any way to assign authorization without using profile.
please clarify on this...

Hi Mirza,
If you will change the role then it will be applicable to all 8 users. to be effective for only one user you have the only option of creating a different role with the new t-code.

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

Programming Weblogic with jmx without using weblogic api?

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to program weblogic management service without
using weblogic api but just rely on standard JMX interface and methods.
Currently, I am relying on weblogic api weblogic.jndi.Environment and weblogic.management.MBeanHome
interface to get the context and access the MBean Server subsystem. Can I find
the equivalent using jmx?
My code is as follows:
Environment env = new Environment();
env.setProviderUrl(url);
env.setSecurityPrincipal(username);
env.setSecurityCredentials(password);
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
MBeanHome home = (MBeanHome) ctx.lookup(MBeanHome.ADMIN_JNDI_NAME);
String domain = home.getDomainName();
homeServer = home.getMBeanServer();
Thank you.

Hi Ryan,
I have looked through the documentation.
It told me that I need to use weblogic.management.MBeanHome interface to get MBeanHome
and from there then I can only use jmx interface.
I presume it is not possible not to use weblogic.jar if I want to establish the
initial connection with Weblogic server?
Thanks.
