Services declared as oneshot are expected to take some action and exit immediatelly (thus, they are not really services, no running processes remain). A common pattern for these type of service is to be defined by a setup and a teardown action.

Let's create a example foo service that when started creates a file, and when stopped it deletes it.

Define setup/teardown actions

Create executable file /opt/foo/setup-foo.sh:

	[user]
	name = Pavan Kumar Sunkara
	email = [email protected]
	github = pksunkara
	[core]
	editor = nvim
	whitespace = fix,-indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space,cr-at-eol
	pager = delta
	[column]
	ui = auto

	ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/systemctl set-environment MYVAR=$(( 2 + 2 ))"

	# Get the value of a tag for a running EC2 instance.
	#
	# This can be useful within bootstrapping scripts ("user-data").
	#
	# Note the EC3 instance needs to have an IAM role that lets it read tags. The policy
	# JSON for this looks like:
	#
	# {

	# #####################################################################
	# DESC: Logstash configuration file. Typically forwarding logs to
	# Elasticsearch instance.
	# #####################################################################

	# Where to get input
	input {
	# Get input from standard input device/interface
	stdin {
	type => "stdin-type"
