History

refactor!: replace sys-systemctl with sys-service, add sys-daemon, and rename systemctl_* → system_service_* across repo

- Swap role includes: sys-systemctl → sys-service in all roles
- Rename variables everywhere: systemctl_* → system_service_* (incl. systemctl_id → system_service_id)
- Templates: ExecStart now uses {{ system_service_script_exec }}; add optional RuntimeMaxSec via SYS_SERVICE_DEFAULT_RUNTIME
- Move SYS_SERVICE defaults into roles/sys-service/defaults (remove SYS_SERVICE_ALL_ENABLED & SYS_SERVICE_DEFAULT_STATE from group_vars/07_services.yml)
- Tidy group_vars/all/08_timer.yml formatting
- Introduce roles/sys-daemon:
  - default manager timeouts (timeouts.conf)
  - optional purge of /etc/systemd/system.conf.d
  - validation via systemd-analyze verify
  - handlers for daemon-reload & daemon-reexec
- Refactor sys-timer to system_service_* variables (docs and templates updated)
- Move filter_plugins/filetype.py under sys-service
- Update meta/README to point to official systemd docs
- Touch many roles (backup/cleanup/health/repair/certs/nginx/csp/wireguard/ssd-hdd/keyboard/update-docker/alarm compose/email/telegram/etc.) to new naming

BREAKING CHANGE:
- Role path/name change: use `sys-service` instead of `sys-systemctl`
- All `systemctl_*` vars are now `system_service_*` (e.g., on_calendar, state, timer_enabled, script_exec, id)
- If you have custom templates, adopt RuntimeMaxSec and new variable names

README.md

sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp

Description

This Ansible role sends periodic health check emails using msmtp to verify that your mail transport agent is operational. It deploys a simple script and hooks it into a systemd service and timer, with failure notifications sent via Telegram.

Overview

Optimized for Archlinux, this role creates the required directory structure, installs and configures the sys-ctl-hlth-check script, and integrates with the sys-ctl-alm-telegram role. It uses the sys-timer role to schedule regular checks based on your customizable OnCalendar setting.

Purpose

The sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp role ensures that your mail transport system stays available by sending a test email at defined intervals. If the email fails, a Telegram alert is triggered, allowing you to detect and address issues before they impact users.

Features

Directory & Script Deployment: Sets up sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp/ and deploys a templated Bash script to send test emails via msmtp.
Systemd Service & Timer: Provides .service and .timer units to run the check and schedule it automatically.
Failure Notifications: Leverages sys-ctl-alm-telegram to push alerts when the script exits with an error.
Configurable Schedule: Define your desired check frequency using the on_calendar_health_msmtp variable.
Email Destination: Specify the recipient via the users.administrator.email variable.
