systemd: run a clean-up action after a few number of service restarts?
I have a service that hold some internal persistent states across restarts.
In the unexpected case that the service fails due to broken internal persistent states, I would like to run a clean-up action to repair or delete the persistent states.
Is there anyway to configure systemd for this kind of usage?
It is possible to modify the service implementation to simulate the behavior by tracking number of restarts, but it will be more complex and error-prone than a systemd configuration (if it is possible).
