Bug#813702: systemd: Oneshot service doesn't get killed after timeout.

[Cyril Duez]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a custom systemd service which isn't killed after
the default stop timeout, which prevent my system to shutdown properly.

During shutdown, the screen displays "A stop job is running ... (X/no limit)" and then wait forever.

Sadly, i can't remember this have ever worked because i didn't try. (My service use to stop in 10s).

I did some debugging and that is what i found:

* it works with systemd v228.
* it works if i change the type of the service from oneshot to normal

I have reproduced a minimal test case:

test.service:

[Unit]
Description=Test

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
WorkingDirectory=/root
ExecStart=/bin/ls
ExecStop=/root/stop.sh

---

stop.sh:

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
        sleep 5
        echo "Still alive"
done


after a systemctl start test, i expect that systemctl stop test will end my process in 90s but nothing happens.
