Error running redshift app as a system service on hardware resume
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 and I'm using the redshift app to change the color temp of my monitor. Every time I resume my machine from suspend, monitor temperature has returned to it's default, so I run redshift command that I want from a terminal every time.
It's getting a bit annoying, and I can't find out why this is happening, so I tried adding a system service that will run on resume to run the redshift command automatically. The command is not running correctly though. I'm not sure if the resume procedure hasn't progressed enough to let the app do what it needs to do, or if my service config is wrong:
Here's the service config at /etc/systemd/system/start-redshift.service:
[Unit]
Description=Start redshift app
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStop=/usr/bin/redshift -O 3800
[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target
Here's the log output for a run of the service after resume:
