The log's order of a script executing before shutdown?

  • 772
cat  /home/upload.sh  
/usr/bin/scp -P 22   /home/material.gz   root@remote_ip:/home
date  >>  /var/log/upload.log

Setting for upload.service

cat  /etc/systemd/system/upload.service
[Unit]
Description=upload files into my vps 
Before=shutdown.target  reboot.target
Requires=network-online.target
After=network.target 

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/true
ExecStop=/bin/bash /home/upload.sh  

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The script can upload file into my vps before shutdown.

The strange thing is the upload service's log.

journal -u upload 
Apr 23 12:54:50 localhost systemd[1]: Stopping upload files into my vps...
Apr 23 12:55:13 localhost systemd[1]: Stopped upload files into my vps.
Apr 23 12:55:19 localhost systemd[1]: Started upload files into my vps.
Apr 23 12:55:19 localhost systemd[1]: Starting upload files into my vps...

Why it is not such as following order?

Apr 23 12:54:50 localhost systemd[1]: Stopping upload files into my vps...
Apr 23 12:55:13 localhost systemd[1]: Stopped upload files into my vps.
Apr 23 12:55:19 localhost systemd[1]: Starting upload files into my vps...
Apr 23 12:55:19 localhost systemd[1]: Started upload files into my vps.

Only differ in the last two lines,why?
Which result in this kind of log info?

Do as George Udosen say:Try this in the service file [Unit] Requires=network-online.target After=network.target network-online.target.

my setting

It is no use at all.

log after revise my setting as George Udosen say

    Based on the information currently available I'm assuming that you have a multi-core or at least multi-threaded CPU and that dispatch and issue decoupling is allowing out-of-order execution, causing this out of order anomaly in log output. I would use numactl to launch your script. Here's an example:

    numactl --physcpubind=0 /path/to/your/script

    or in this specific case

    numactl --physcpubind=0 /home/upload.sh

    This will run your process on the first core/cpu assigned to your chipset (index 0) as listed in /proc/cpuinfo This will force the script to run at most one thread concurrently, but it does not mean that the entire process will be composed of only one thread. if the program is written to spawn a new thread, it will do so, but it will execute on the same core/cpu/thread as the rest of the process.

    EDIT: Note that by restricting your processing to a single thread/core/cpu this may result in slower processing of the task at hand.
