This systemd service restarts Syncthing after resume from suspend via sending SIGHUP. By default Syncthing detects resume from sleep on its own by looking for jumps in the system clock. Since systemd knows exactly when the system resumes from sleep let's trigger the Syncthing restart from there. Doing this in systemd eliminates some annoying delay, as the service is restarted immediately after resume. Also, using the systemd dependency mechanism syncthing-inotify is restarted as well. $ journalctl -e --identifier syncthing --identifier syncthing-inotify --identifier systemd Feb 22 09:44:27 kronos systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.

Syncthing
This is the Syncthing project which pursues the following goals:
-
Define a protocol for synchronization of a folder between a number of collaborating devices. This protocol should be well defined, unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and language neutral. This is called the Block Exchange Protocol.
-
Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of said protocol. This is the
syncthing
utility. We hope that alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will arise.
The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered stable until Syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down for incompatible changes.
Getting Started
Take a look at the getting started guide.
There are a few examples for keeping Syncthing running in the background on your system in the etc directory.
There is an IRC channel, #syncthing
on Freenode, for talking directly
to developers and users.
Building
Building Syncthing from source is easy, and there's a guide. that describes it for both Unix and Windows systems.
Signed Releases
As of v0.10.15 and onwards, git tags and release binaries are GPG signed with the key D26E6ED000654A3E (see https://syncthing.net/security.html). For release binaries, MD5 and SHA1 checksums are calculated and signed, available in the md5sum.txt.asc and sha1sum.txt.asc files.
