CentOS - Aug 2016 - centos 7- boot doesn't wait for startup script to complete

Hi All,I have a general question.? I have an old rc type startup script that I
am still using on CentOS 7.? I got it to run by creating the systemd service
file... a simple one as shown below, for Myservices.
# used to set up the Myservices onstartup[Unit]Description=Start and stop
Myservices[Service]Type=oneshotExecStart=/etc/init.d/Myservices
startExecStop=/etc/init.d/Myservices
stopRemainAfterExit=yes[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.targetThis works. When the
server starts Myservices is initiated.? However the boot keeps going. When I log
in Myservices is still running.? it takes about 5 minutes to complete.? This is
normal.? What is different is the boot up used to wait for the service to finish
and then continue.?? Can I use any options in my service file shown above, to
make it wait before finishing the boot up?
ThanksKM

Reformatting so it is readable.

What you probably want to do is to add something to the [Unit] section
to make the completion of the be a requirement for the user login
service.  Something like:

Before=systemd-user-sessions.service

You will most likely also need to add a TimeoutStartSec= to your
[Service] section to give it a longer time to run before systemd times
out the service start.

thank you for the feedback.? I tried using
Before=systemd-user-sessions.service.? At first glance it seems to work, but
then the oracle DB shuts down.? Note that myservices starts oracle and then does
a few things for our application.
When I remove that entry, it goes right to the login as I originally described,
but the oracle DB does not shut down.? maybe I have the wrong combination of
timeout options with this other option or something, although the timeouts
seemed to work also.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.? In either case, thanks for helping.
I looked online for an explanation of the options for these files, other that
the systemd manual page which is hard to use.? I really couldn't find one.?
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.KM
