Ubuntu 16.04 periodically resets /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service file

  • 772

I have installed memached on Ubuntu 16.04 and configured in /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service system service to use a custom config /etc/memcached_server1.conf file

$ cat /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service
[Unit]
Description=memcached daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/share/memcached/scripts/systemd-memcached-wrapper  /etc/memcached_server1.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As you can see I'm using custom /etc/memcached_server1.conf file in the ExecStart section

After a while or because of some unknown action, /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service file resets to default /etc/memcached.conf config file ...

$ cat /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service
[Unit]
Description=memcached daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/share/memcached/scripts/systemd-memcached-wrapper  /etc/memcached.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

To reproduce replacement I tried server reboot, systemctl restart memcached, systemctl daemon-reload but they are all useless. Nothing changes config to default one.

Question: What can cause replacement of /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service to default (after installation) one?

systemd 16.04 memcached

  1. I don't found any solution here and as best workaround decided to make /lib/systemd/system/memcached.service none writable for anyone !
