path units and other basic initialization necessary for general

to allow them to be remote.

<para>This target usually does not pull in any non-target units

directly, but rather does so indirectly via other early boot targets.

It is instead meant as a synchronization point for late boot

services. Refer to

<para>A special target unit that starts an emergency shell on the main console. This target does not pull in
|
2016-02-11 23:01:16 +00:00
|
|
|
any services or mounts. It is the most minimal version of starting the system in order to acquire an
|
2016-02-10 20:29:45 +00:00
|
|
|
interactive shell; the only processes running are usually just the system manager (PID 1) and the shell
|
|
|
|
process. This unit is supposed to be used with the kernel command line option
|
|
|
|
<varname>systemd.unit=</varname>; it is also used when a file system check on a required file system fails,
|
|
|
|
and boot-up cannot continue. Compare with <filename>rescue.target</filename>, which serves a similar purpose,
|
|
|
|
but also starts the most basic services and mounts all file systems.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Use the <literal>systemd.unit=emergency.target</literal> kernel command line option to boot into this

mode. A short alias for this kernel command line option is <literal>emergency</literal>, for compatibility
|
|
|
|
with SysV.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>In many ways booting into <filename>emergency.target</filename> is similar to the effect of booting
|
|
|
|
with <literal>init=/bin/sh</literal> on the kernel command line, except that emergency mode provides you with
|
|
|
|
the full system and service manager, and allows starting individual units in order to continue the boot
|
|
|
|
process in steps.</para>

<title>Special Passive System Units </title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>A number of special system targets are defined that can be
|
|
|
|
used to properly order boot-up of optional services. These targets
|
|
|
|
are generally not part of the initial boot transaction, unless
|
|
|
|
they are explicitly pulled in by one of the implementing services.
|
|
|
|
Note specifically that these <emphasis>passive</emphasis> target
|
|
|
|
units are generally not pulled in by the consumer of a service,
|
|
|
|
but by the provider of the service. This means: a consuming
|
|
|
|
service should order itself after these targets (as appropriate),
|
|
|
|
but not pull it in. A providing service should order itself before
|
|
|
|
these targets (as appropriate) and pull it in (via a
|
|
|
|
<varname>Wants=</varname> type dependency).</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that these passive units cannot be started manually,
|
|
|
|
i.e. <literal>systemctl start time-sync.target</literal> will fail
|
|
|
|
with an error. They can only be pulled in by dependency. This is
|
|
|
|
enforced since they exist for ordering purposes only and thus are
|
|
|
|
not useful as only unit within a transaction.</para>
