Re: [Libguestfs] guestfs_launch() fails when C application is started as a systemd service

If I understand the question correctly - it's about how collectd loads its plugins? If so it uses: static int plugin_load_file(const char *file, _Bool global) { void (*reg_handle)(void); int flags = RTLD_NOW; if (global) flags |= RTLD_GLOBAL; void *dlh = *dlopen*(file, flags); //... reg_handle = (void (*)(void))*dlsym*(dlh, "module_register"); //... *(*reg_handle)();* } Does this give any clues?
