In a systemd service adjusted by me i change to user john1 and get this message:

I don’t know if thats an error that manjaro developers should fix?!

If you change something why do you think someone else is responsible?
What exactly did you change?

I changed

See the line runuser:

[Unit]
Description=Clean packages cache

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pamac clean -v --no-confirm
# ExecStart=runuser - john1 -c "/usr/bin/pamac clean -b -v --no-confirm"
# ExecStart=rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-john1/*
# ExecStart=/home/john1/my_pamac_clean_build.sh
ExecStart=runuser - john1 -c 'rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-john1/*'

Systemctl tells me its ok, but

Ok, i could change my question:

Is the line with runuser really an error?

4

If i execute the runuser line in a root terminal i get

njaro cron.hourly]# runuser - john1 -c 'rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-john1/*'
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh: Zeile 5: append_path: Kommando nicht gefunden.
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh: Zeile 7: append_path: Kommando nicht gefunden.
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh: Zeile 9: append_path: Kommando nicht gefunden.
[manjaro cron.hourly]#

So for me thats an error i can’t fix!

append_path is a function which should have been defined via /etc/profile.
Is there a /etc/profile.pacnew which you did not yet merge?
Please post output of:

YES, i have edit profile to have lazarus executable in $PATH

So there is no /etc/profile.pacnew but at some time there must have been and the merge wasn’t done properly. Your version still has the old appendpath function defined, where it’s now append_path.
Edit your /etc/profile to define this function, here’s the complete content of current /etc/profile as it’s installed via filesystem package:

# /etc/profile

# Set our umask
umask 022

# Append "$1" to $PATH when not already in.
# This function API is accessible to scripts in /etc/profile.d
append_path () {
    case ":$PATH:" in
        *:"$1":*)
            ;;
        *)
            PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}$1"
    esac
}

# Append our default paths
append_path '/usr/local/sbin'
append_path '/usr/local/bin'
append_path '/usr/bin'

# Force PATH to be environment
export PATH

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
        for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
                test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
        done
        unset profile
fi

# Unload our profile API functions
unset -f append_path

# Source global bash config, when interactive but not posix or sh mode
if test "$BASH" &&\
   test "$PS1" &&\
   test -z "$POSIXLY_CORRECT" &&\
   test "${0#-}" != sh &&\
   test -r /etc/bash.bashrc
then
        . /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH

It’s now defined append_path and does not unset it to provide it to other scripts in /etc/profile.d for example.

Thank you!!

I’ll do that tomorrow … bathtub is waiting

I think there is no *.pacnew because i tried to use pacdiff(?) and got angry while handling differences with vi.

Yes i hate vi so i will never become a real linux- enthusiast
:slight_smile:

Problem solved, i mark your answer as solution.
