Startup and shutdown Zimbra/systemd

Post by BradC »

In years gone, with distributions running SysV init, startup and shutdown was a deterministic process which could be monitored and managed.

I'm running a trial version of 9.0.0 NE in an Ubuntu 20.04 VM. Startup is relatively normal, but shutting down the VM is about 6 times faster than issuing a zmcontrol stop.
This would indicate to me systemd is killing zimbra rather than shutting it down cleanly when the system goes down.

Is anyone familiar enough with systemd to give me some pointers on perhaps monitoring the shutdown process to see if it's properly stopping Zimbra?
I'd hate to be in a situation where this was deployed into prod and the UPS signaled a host shutdown, to find something corrupted because the Zimbra/systemd interaction prevented a clean shutdown.
