/usr/local/bin/servicectl: 16: [: -ne: unexpected operator

[OverWorldD]

trying this to start crate from within linux deploy on android debian jessie gets me:
android@localhost:$ sudo servicectl enable crate
/usr/local/bin/servicectl: 16: [: -ne: unexpected operator
/usr/local/bin/servicectl: 23: /usr/local/bin/servicectl: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
android@localhost:$

This project is either dormant or abandoned.
Try https://github.com/gdraheim/docker-systemctl-replacement instead.

These scripts assume /bin/sh is bash. Just replace the shebang with your path to bash and it will work.

I also had this issue, but it gets worse. After fixing the shebangs the scripts don't work on Debian Stretch in Linux Deploy on Android.
They only expect service files to be in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ when they are actually in /etc/systemd/system/

I agree that this project seems to be dormant/abandoned, but I'm not wanting docker stuff.

I got this particular line to work by changing two lines in /usr/local/bin/servicectl but there are still other issues that I haven't been able to figure out.

In case anyone's curious:

line 0: #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash
&
line 16: if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then to if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then

Error: attribute PIDFile not exists in file /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service

It works for me by changing line 7:
SYSTEMD_UNITS_PATH="/usr/lib/systemd/system/" to SYSTEMD_UNITS_PATH="/lib/systemd/system/"

Hi, what's environment you are using? @Xie-Long-0

I run this in docker container. I noticed it called kill -TERM $PID in action stop and restart, I run this manually, but this doesn't work, may because of the PID namespace isolation.

[Xie-Long-0]

what's environment you are using?

@ruquanzhao
I run in chroot, which created by Linux Deploy on Android.
Seems like its pids are inherited from the host.

I'm also using linux deploy and changed the code as you said(#4 (comment)), but the problem still exists

root@localhost:/etc# servicectl restart mcsm-web.service

this problem was fixed but...
