<para>Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files,

but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of

|
systemd. They are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name
|
|
|
|
ends in <literal>.scope</literal> refers to a scope unit. Scopes

units manage a set of system processes. Unlike service units, scope

2013-07-19 17:04:17 +00:00
|
|
|
units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off
|
|
|
|
processes on its own.</para>

<para>Note that, unlike service units, scope units have no "main" process: all processes in the scope are
|
|
|
|
equivalent. The lifecycle of the scope unit is thus not bound to the lifetime of one specific process,
|
|
|
|
but to the existence of at least one process in the scope. This also means that the exit statuses of
|
|
|
|
these processes are not relevant for the scope unit failure state. Scope units may still enter a failure
|
|
|
|
state, for example due to resource exhaustion or stop timeouts being reached, but not due to programs
|
|
|
|
inside of them terminating uncleanly. Since processes managed as scope units generally remain children of
|
|
|
|
the original process that forked them off, it is also the job of that process to collect their exit
|
|
|
|
statuses and act on them as needed.</para>
