You can check if there is a pid for that find, and you will see it is running. \; just belongs to that find command at the end of the line.
The permission denied is a different issue, you need to find out why is it read only (no, it is not because of systemd).

I really like systemd, it's a heaven compared to sysVinit. I never had any problem with it in the last years :-)

There is a PID for that find line, I've seen it with the systemd service, however the files never gets moved.

Use quotes here:
-name "*.mkv"
otherwise the shell tries filename generation (would replace it with matching .mkv files in the current directory).

Perhaps you should mount your unreliable ssd with option errors=continue

Do you think this is ok? Where should I put the '{}' in the red line?

Code:

#find $SRC -mmin +1 -type f -name "*.mkv" -exec mv "{}" $EXPORTS \;

find $SRC -mmin +1 -type f -name "*.mkv" -exec rsync --remove-source-files --timeout=30 -avme "ssh -i $KEY -p $REMOTE_PORT" $SRC $REMOTE_USER@$REMOTE_IP:$DST \;

The rsync source is not $SRC but {} i.e. each found file.

Hi Folks,

I figured it out. If I insert this into the beginning of my script, systemD runs it correctly:

Code:

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin"

Thank you for your suggestions
