beanstalkd (1.9-2) unstable; urgency=medium As of 1.9-2, beanstalkd ships a systemd socket unit file to facilitate socket activation via systemd. The socket activation is disabled by default, if you want to use it you need to stop the service and manually enable and start the systemd socket: $ systemctl stop beanstalkd.service $ systemctl enable beanstalkd.socket $ systemctl start beanstalkd.socket These steps need to be performed only once and will bind 127.0.0.1:11300 and pass it down to beanstalkd. Note that if you enable socket activation, the port and address specified in /etc/default/beanstalkd will not be used. As with all systemd unit files, you can override beanstalkd.socket by copying it to /etc/systemd/system/ and modifying it. For more information about socket activation, see systemd.socket(5). -- Apollon Oikonomopoulos Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:33:36 +0200
