Systemd service not updating

Question

I have a service on my Raspberry Pi which runs a bash file on boot. I recently updated the bash file (run.sh) but the service is not reflecting the update.

So far I have tried:

• sudo systemctl disable/enable garden-zero.service

• sudo systemtl stop/start garden-zero.service

• sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Nothing has worked. The service is still not running the environment.py script I added.

Bash File (run.sh)

#!/bin/sh

# Sensors
/home/pi/apps/garden-zero/sensors/environment.py &
/home/pi/apps/garden-zero/sensors/soil-temperature.py &
/home/pi/apps/garden-zero/sensors/soil-moisture.py &

# Metrics
/home/pi/apps/garden-zero/metrics/heartbeat.py &

Service Config

[Unit]
Description=Garden Zero
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=run.sh
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/apps/garden-zero
StandardOutput=inherit
StandardError=inherit
Restart=always

[Install]

Output when status is run

I would expect to see /home/pi/apps/garden-zero/sensors/environment.py listed but its not

The systemd WorkingDirectory= setting defines on which directory the service will be launched, same as when you use cd to change a directory when you're working in the shell.

That doesn't mean that all the other paths (including that from ExecStart=) will now be relative to it, so you still need to fully specify the path to your script in that directive:

ExecStart=/home/pi/apps/garden-zero/run.sh
