Ubuntu 16 - How to make Systemd keep on trying to start service even when start condition failed?












0















I have a sytemd unit file for kafka like below.



[Unit]
Description=Apache Kafka server (broker)
Documentation=http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html
Requires=network.target remote-fs.target
After=network.target remote-fs.target kafka-zookeeper.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=nano
Group=nano
Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_102
ExecStart=/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/server.properties
ExecStop=/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-server-stop.sh
RestartSec=2s
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


Zookeeper unit file.



[Service]
Type=simple
User=nano
Group=nano
Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_102
ExecStart=/opt/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/zookeeper.properties
ExecStop=/opt/kafka/bin/zookeeper-server-stop.sh
RestartSec=2s
Restart=always


Sometimes I am observing that kafka is in a stopped state and doing systemctl status kafka.service showing me the below message



ubuntu@platform3:/usr/lib/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl status kafka.service
● kafka.service - Kafka Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kafka.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Mon 2019-03-25 17:56:30 UTC; 10h ago


On checking logs it seems when sudo systemctl start kafka.service was executed that time zookeeper was not running . So the pre-condition did not meet and kafka did not start.



But after sometime zookeeper was up and running but even then Kafka did not start. Can someone let me know if there is a way I can make systemd keep on trying to start kafka and not just stop once if pre-conditions are not met like the way it is happening now?
