Problem

How to use the systemd-notify command: Notify the service manager about start-up completion and other daemon status changes. This command is useless outside systemd service scripts. More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-notify.html>.

Solution

systemd-notify — Notify the service manager about start-up completion and other daemon status changes. This command is useless outside systemd service scripts. More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-notify.html>.

Notify systemd that the service has completed its initialization and is fully started. It should be invoked when the service is ready to accept incoming requests:

systemd-notify --booted

Signal to systemd that the service is ready to handle incoming connections or perform its tasks:

systemd-notify --ready

Provide a custom status message to systemd (this information is shown by systemctl status):

systemd-notify --status "{{Add custom status message here...}}"
