The intro of systemd-firstboot is rewritten to make it clearer how it fits into the big picture. Systemd does some machine-id and presets and systemd-firstboot.service is used to interactively fill in the blanks. Closes #22225.

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>A unit file is a plain text ini-style file that encodes information about a service, a
|
||
socket, a device, a mount point, an automount point, a swap file or partition, a start-up
|
||
target, a watched file system path, a timer controlled and supervised by
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, a
|
||
resource management slice or a group of externally created processes. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for a general description of the syntax.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This man page lists the common configuration options of all
|
||
the unit types. These options need to be configured in the [Unit]
|
||
or [Install] sections of the unit files.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections
|
||
described here, each unit may have a type-specific section, e.g.
|
||
[Service] for a service unit. See the respective man pages for

|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths determined during compilation, described in the next
|
||
section.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Valid unit names consist of a "unit name prefix", and a suffix specifying the unit type which
|
||
begins with a dot. The "unit name prefix" must consist of one or more valid characters (ASCII letters,
|
||
digits, <literal>:</literal>, <literal>-</literal>, <literal>_</literal>, <literal>.</literal>, and
|
||
<literal>\</literal>). The total length of the unit name including the suffix must not exceed 255
|
||
characters. The unit type suffix must be one of <literal>.service</literal>, <literal>.socket</literal>,
|
||
<literal>.device</literal>, <literal>.mount</literal>, <literal>.automount</literal>,
|
||
<literal>.swap</literal>, <literal>.target</literal>, <literal>.path</literal>,
|
||
<literal>.timer</literal>, <literal>.slice</literal>, or <literal>.scope</literal>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit names can be parameterized by a single argument called the "instance name". The unit is then
|
||
constructed based on a "template file" which serves as the definition of multiple services or other
|
||
units. A template unit must have a single <literal>@</literal> at the end of the unit name prefix (right
|
||
before the type suffix). The name of the full unit is formed by inserting the instance name between
|
||
<literal>@</literal> and the unit type suffix. In the unit file itself, the instance parameter may be
|
||
referred to using <literal>%i</literal> and other specifiers, see below.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit files may contain additional options on top of those listed here. If systemd encounters an
|
||
unknown option, it will write a warning log message but continue loading the unit. If an option or
|
||
section name is prefixed with <option>X-</option>, it is ignored completely by systemd. Options within an
|
||
ignored section do not need the prefix. Applications may use this to include additional information in
|
||
the unit files. To access those options, applications need to parse the unit files on their own.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Units can be aliased (have an alternative name), by creating a symlink from the new name to the
|
||
existing name in one of the unit search paths. For example, <filename>systemd-networkd.service</filename>
|
||
has the alias <filename>dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service</filename>, created during installation as
|
||
a symlink, so when <command>systemd</command> is asked through D-Bus to load
|
||
<filename>dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service</filename>, it'll load
|
||
<filename>systemd-networkd.service</filename>. As another example, <filename>default.target</filename> —
|
||
the default system target started at boot — is commonly aliased to either
|
||
<filename>multi-user.target</filename> or <filename>graphical.target</filename> to select what is started
|
||
by default. Alias names may be used in commands like <command>disable</command>,
|
||
<command>start</command>, <command>stop</command>, <command>status</command>, and similar, and in all
|
||
unit dependency directives, including <varname>Wants=</varname>, <varname>Requires=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>Before=</varname>, <varname>After=</varname>. Aliases cannot be used with the
|
||
<command>preset</command> command.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Aliases obey the following restrictions: a unit of a certain type (<literal>.service</literal>,
|
||
<literal>.socket</literal>, …) can only be aliased by a name with the same type suffix. A plain unit (not
|
||
a template or an instance), may only be aliased by a plain name. A template instance may only be aliased
|
||
by another template instance, and the instance part must be identical. A template may be aliased by
|
||
another template (in which case the alias applies to all instances of the template). As a special case, a
|
||
template instance (e.g. <literal>alias@inst.service</literal>) may be a symlink to different template
|
||
(e.g. <literal>template@inst.service</literal>). In that case, just this specific instance is aliased,
|
||
while other instances of the template (e.g. <literal>alias@foo.service</literal>,
|
||
<literal>alias@bar.service</literal>) are not aliased. Those rules preserve the requirement that the
|
||
instance (if any) is always uniquely defined for a given unit and all its aliases. The target of alias
|
||
symlink must point to a valid unit file location, i.e. the symlink target name must match the symlink
|
||
source name as described, and the destination path must be in one of the unit search paths, see UNIT FILE
|
||
LOAD PATH section below for more details. Note that the target file may not exist, i.e. the symlink may
|
||
be dangling.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit files may specify aliases through the <varname>Alias=</varname> directive in the [Install]
|
||
section. When the unit is enabled, symlinks will be created for those names, and removed when the unit is
|
||
disabled. For example, <filename>reboot.target</filename> specifies
|
||
<varname>Alias=ctrl-alt-del.target</varname>, so when enabled, the symlink
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.service</filename> pointing to the
|
||
<filename>reboot.target</filename> file will be created, and when
|
||
<keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>Del</keycap></keycombo> is invoked,
|
||
<command>systemd</command> will look for the <filename>ctrl-alt-del.service</filename> and execute
|
||
<filename>reboot.service</filename>. <command>systemd</command> does not look at the [Install] section at
|
||
all during normal operation, so any directives in that section only have an effect through the symlinks
|
||
created during enablement.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Along with a unit file <filename>foo.service</filename>, the directory
|
||
<filename>foo.service.wants/</filename> may exist. All unit files symlinked from such a directory are
|
||
implicitly added as dependencies of type <varname>Wants=</varname> to the unit. Similar functionality
|
||
exists for <varname>Requires=</varname> type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is
|
||
<filename>.requires/</filename> in this case. This functionality is useful to hook units into the
|
||
start-up of other units, without having to modify their unit files. For details about the semantics of
|
||
<varname>Wants=</varname> and <varname>Requires=</varname>, see below. The preferred way to create
|
||
symlinks in the <filename>.wants/</filename> or <filename>.requires/</filename> directories is by
|
||
specifying the dependency in [Install] section of the target unit, and creating the symlink in the file
|
||
system with the <command>enable</command> or <command>preset</command> commands of
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
||
target can be a normal unit (either plain or a specific instance of a template unit). In case when the
|
||
source unit is a template, the target can also be a template, in which case the instance will be
|
||
"propagated" to the target unit to form a valid unit instance. The target of symlinks in
|
||
<filename>.wants/</filename> or <filename>.requires/</filename> must thus point to a valid unit file
|
||
location, i.e. the symlink target name must satisfy the described requirements, and the destination path
|
||
must be in one of the unit search paths, see UNIT FILE LOAD PATH section below for more details. Note
|
||
that the target file may not exist, i.e. the symlink may be dangling.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Along with a unit file <filename>foo.service</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
|
||
<filename>foo.service.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix
|
||
<literal>.conf</literal> from this directory will be merged in the alphanumeric order and parsed
|
||
after the main unit file itself has been parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration
|
||
settings for a unit, without having to modify unit files. Each drop-in file must contain appropriate
|
||
section headers. For instantiated units, this logic will first look for the instance
|
||
<literal>.d/</literal> subdirectory (e.g. <literal>foo@bar.service.d/</literal>) and read its
|
||
<literal>.conf</literal> files, followed by the template <literal>.d/</literal> subdirectory (e.g.
|
||
<literal>foo@.service.d/</literal>) and the <literal>.conf</literal> files there. Moreover for unit
|
||
names containing dashes (<literal>-</literal>), the set of directories generated by repeatedly
|
||
truncating the unit name after all dashes is searched too. Specifically, for a unit name
|
||
<filename>foo-bar-baz.service</filename> not only the regular drop-in directory
|
||
<filename>foo-bar-baz.service.d/</filename> is searched but also both <filename>foo-bar-.service.d/</filename> and
|
||
<filename>foo-.service.d/</filename>. This is useful for defining common drop-ins for a set of related units, whose
|
||
names begin with a common prefix. This scheme is particularly useful for mount, automount and slice units, whose
|
||
systematic naming structure is built around dashes as component separators. Note that equally named drop-in files
|
||
further down the prefix hierarchy override those further up,
|
||
i.e. <filename>foo-bar-.service.d/10-override.conf</filename> overrides
|
||
<filename>foo-.service.d/10-override.conf</filename>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In cases of unit aliases (described above), dropins for the aliased name and all aliases are
|
||
loaded. In the example of <filename>default.target</filename> aliasing
|
||
<filename>graphical.target</filename>, <filename>default.target.d/</filename>,
|
||
<filename>default.target.wants/</filename>, <filename>default.target.requires/</filename>,
|
||
<filename>graphical.target.d/</filename>, <filename>graphical.target.wants/</filename>,
|
||
<filename>graphical.target.requires/</filename> would all be read. For templates, dropins for the
|
||
template, any template aliases, the template instance, and all alias instances are read. When just a
|
||
specific template instance is aliased, then the dropins for the target template, the target template
|
||
instance, and the alias template instance are read.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename>, the drop-in <literal>.d/</literal>
|
||
directories for system services can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system</filename> or
|
||
<filename>/run/systemd/system</filename> directories. Drop-in files in <filename>/etc/</filename>
|
||
take precedence over those in <filename>/run/</filename> which in turn take precedence over those
|
||
in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these directories take precedence
|
||
over unit files wherever located. Multiple drop-in files with different names are applied in
|
||
lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Units also support a top-level drop-in with <filename><replaceable>type</replaceable>.d/</filename>,
|
||
where <replaceable>type</replaceable> may be e.g. <literal>service</literal> or <literal>socket</literal>,
|
||
that allows altering or adding to the settings of all corresponding unit files on the system.
|
||
The formatting and precedence of applying drop-in configurations follow what is defined above.
|
||
Files in <filename><replaceable>type</replaceable>.d/</filename> have lower precedence compared
|
||
to files in name-specific override directories. The usual rules apply: multiple drop-in files
|
||
with different names are applied in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories
|
||
they reside in, so a file in <filename><replaceable>type</replaceable>.d/</filename> applies
|
||
to a unit only if there are no drop-ins or masks with that name in directories with higher
|
||
precedence. See Examples.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that while systemd offers a flexible dependency system
|
||
between units it is recommended to use this functionality only
|
||
sparingly and instead rely on techniques such as bus-based or
|
||
socket-based activation which make dependencies implicit,
|
||
resulting in a both simpler and more flexible system.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>As mentioned above, a unit may be instantiated from a template file. This allows creation
|
||
of multiple units from a single configuration file. If systemd looks for a unit configuration
|
||
file, it will first search for the literal unit name in the file system. If that yields no
|
||
success and the unit name contains an <literal>@</literal> character, systemd will look for a
|
||
unit template that shares the same name but with the instance string (i.e. the part between the
|
||
<literal>@</literal> character and the suffix) removed. Example: if a service
|
||
<filename>getty@tty3.service</filename> is requested and no file by that name is found, systemd
|
||
will look for <filename>getty@.service</filename> and instantiate a service from that
|
||
configuration file if it is found.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To refer to the instance string from within the
|
||
configuration file you may use the special <literal>%i</literal>
|
||
specifier in many of the configuration options. See below for
|
||
details.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size 0) or is
|
||
symlinked to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, its configuration
|
||
will not be loaded and it appears with a load state of
|
||
<literal>masked</literal>, and cannot be activated. Use this as an
|
||
effective way to fully disable a unit, making it impossible to
|
||
start it even manually.</para>

<title>String Escaping for Inclusion in Unit Names</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Sometimes it is useful to convert arbitrary strings into unit names. To facilitate this, a method of string
|
||
escaping is used, in order to map strings containing arbitrary byte values (except <constant>NUL</constant>) into
|
||
valid unit names and their restricted character set. A common special case are unit names that reflect paths to
|
||
objects in the file system hierarchy. Example: a device unit <filename>dev-sda.device</filename> refers to a device
|
||
with the device node <filename index="false">/dev/sda</filename> in the file system.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The escaping algorithm operates as follows: given a string, any <literal>/</literal> character is
|
||
replaced by <literal>-</literal>, and all other characters which are not ASCII alphanumerics,
|
||
<literal>:</literal>, <literal>_</literal> or <literal>.</literal> are replaced by C-style
|
||
<literal>\x2d</literal> escapes. In addition, <literal>.</literal> is replaced with such a C-style escape
|
||
when it would appear as the first character in the escaped string.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>When the input qualifies as absolute file system path, this algorithm is extended slightly: the path to the
|
||
root directory <literal>/</literal> is encoded as single dash <literal>-</literal>. In addition, any leading,
|
||
trailing or duplicate <literal>/</literal> characters are removed from the string before transformation. Example:
|
||
<filename index="false">/foo//bar/baz/</filename> becomes <literal>foo-bar-baz</literal>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This escaping is fully reversible, as long as it is known whether the escaped string was a path (the
|
||
unescaping results are different for paths and non-path strings). The
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-escape</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command may be
|
||
used to apply and reverse escaping on arbitrary strings. Use <command>systemd-escape --path</command> to escape
|
||
path strings, and <command>systemd-escape</command> without <option>--path</option> otherwise.</para>

<refsect2>
|
||
<title>Implicit Dependencies</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>A number of unit dependencies are implicitly established, depending on unit type and
|
||
unit configuration. These implicit dependencies can make unit configuration file cleaner. For
|
||
the implicit dependencies in each unit type, please refer to section "Implicit Dependencies"
|
||
in respective man pages.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For example, service units with <varname>Type=dbus</varname> automatically acquire
|
||
dependencies of type <varname>Requires=</varname> and <varname>After=</varname> on
|
||
<filename>dbus.socket</filename>. See

<title>Default Dependencies</title>
|

|

<para>Default dependencies are similar to implicit dependencies, but can be turned on and off
|
||
by setting <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> to <varname>yes</varname> (the default) and
|
||
<varname>no</varname>, while implicit dependencies are always in effect. See section "Default

<para>The set of load paths for the user manager instance may be augmented or

changed using various environment variables. And environment variables may in

||
turn be set using environment generators, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.environment-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|

In particular, <varname>$XDG_DATA_HOME</varname> and
|
||
<varname>$XDG_DATA_DIRS</varname> may be easily set using
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-environment-d-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|

Thus, directories listed here are just the defaults. To see the actual list that

||
would be used based on compilation options and current environment use
|
||
<programlisting>systemd-analyze --user unit-paths</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Moreover, additional units might be loaded into systemd from directories not on the unit load path
|
||
by creating a symlink pointing to a unit file in the directories. You can use <command>systemctl
|
||
link</command> for this; see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The file
|
||
system where the linked unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started (e.g. anything
|
||
underneath <filename>/home/</filename> or <filename>/var/</filename> is not allowed, unless those
|
||
directories are located on the root file system).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>It is important to distinguish "linked unit files" from "unit file aliases": any symlink where the
|
||
symlink <emphasis>target</emphasis> is within the unit load path becomes an alias: the source name and
|
||
the target file name must satisfy specific constraints listed above in the discussion of aliases, but the
|
||
symlink target doesn't have to exist, and in fact the symlink target path is not used, except to check
|
||
whether the target is within the unit load path. In contrast, a symlink which goes outside of the unit
|
||
load path signifies a linked unit file. The symlink is followed when loading the file, but the
|
||
destination name is otherwise unused (and may even not be a valid unit file name). For example, symlinks
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/alias1.service</filename> → <filename index='false'>service1.service</filename>,
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/alias2.service</filename> → <filename index='false'>/usr/lib/systemd/service1.service</filename>,
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/alias3.service</filename> → <filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/service1.service</filename>
|
||
are all valid aliases and <filename index='false'>service1.service</filename> will have
|
||
four names, even if the unit file is located at
|
||
<filename index='false'>/run/systemd/system/service1.service</filename>. In contrast,
|
||
a symlink <filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/link1.service</filename> → <filename index='false'>../link1_service_file</filename>
|
||
means that <filename index='false'>link1.service</filename> is a "linked unit" and the contents of
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/link1_service_file</filename> provide its configuration.</para>

<title>Unit Garbage Collection</title>

Units can suddenly, unexpectedly enter inactive state for different reasons: the main process of a service unit

<para>Those two settings configure ordering dependencies between units. If unit

<filename>foo.service</filename> contains the setting <option>Before=bar.service</option> and both

units are being started, <filename>bar.service</filename>'s start-up is delayed until

<filename>foo.service</filename> has finished starting up. <varname>After=</varname> is the inverse
|

of <varname>Before=</varname>, i.e. while <varname>Before=</varname> ensures that the configured unit
|

is started before the listed unit begins starting up, <varname>After=</varname> ensures the opposite,
|
||
that the listed unit is fully started up before the configured unit is started.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>When two units with an ordering dependency between them are shut down, the inverse of the
|
||
start-up order is applied. I.e. if a unit is configured with <varname>After=</varname> on another
|
||
unit, the former is stopped before the latter if both are shut down. Given two units with any
|
||
ordering dependency between them, if one unit is shut down and the other is started up, the shutdown
|
||
is ordered before the start-up. It doesn't matter if the ordering dependency is
|
||
<varname>After=</varname> or <varname>Before=</varname>, in this case. It also doesn't matter which
|
||
of the two is shut down, as long as one is shut down and the other is started up; the shutdown is
|
||
ordered before the start-up in all cases. If two units have no ordering dependencies between them,
|
||
they are shut down or started up simultaneously, and no ordering takes place. It depends on the unit
|
||
type when precisely a unit has finished starting up. Most importantly, for service units start-up is
|
||
considered completed for the purpose of <varname>Before=</varname>/<varname>After=</varname> when all
|
||
its configured start-up commands have been invoked and they either failed or reported start-up
|
||
success. Note that this does includes <varname>ExecStartPost=</varname> (or
|
||
<varname>ExecStopPost=</varname> for the shutdown case).</para>
|
||
|

<para>Note that those settings are independent of and orthogonal to the requirement dependencies as
|
||
configured by <varname>Requires=</varname>, <varname>Wants=</varname>, <varname>Requisite=</varname>,
|
||
or <varname>BindsTo=</varname>. It is a common pattern to include a unit name in both the
|
||
<varname>After=</varname> and <varname>Wants=</varname> options, in which case the unit listed will
|
||
be started before the unit that is configured with these options.</para>
|

|

<para>Note that <varname>Before=</varname> dependencies on device units have no effect and are not

supported. Devices generally become available as a result of an external hotplug event, and systemd

after any unit condition checks are executed, and hence unit activations with failing conditions do

not count towards the rate limit.</para>

<para>When a unit is unloaded due to the garbage collection logic (see above) its rate limit counters

<para>Unit files may also include a number of <varname index="false">Condition…=</varname> and <varname
|

index="false">Assert…=</varname> settings. Before the unit is started, systemd will verify that the
|
||
specified conditions and asserts are true. If not, the starting of the unit will be (mostly silently)
|
||
skipped (in case of conditions), or aborted with an error message (in case of asserts). Failing
|
||
conditions or asserts will not result in the unit being moved into the <literal>failed</literal>
|
||
state. The conditions and asserts are checked at the time the queued start job is to be executed. The
|
||
ordering dependencies are still respected, so other units are still pulled in and ordered as if this
|
||
unit was successfully activated, and the conditions and asserts are executed the precise moment the
|
||
unit would normally start and thus can validate system state after the units ordered before completed
|
||
initialization. Use condition expressions for skipping units that do not apply to the local system, for
|
||
example because the kernel or runtime environment doesn't require their functionality.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If multiple conditions are specified, the unit will be executed if all of them apply (i.e. a

logical AND is applied). Condition checks can use a pipe symbol (<literal>|</literal>) after the equals
|
||
sign (<literal>Condition…=|…</literal>), which causes the condition to become a
|
||
<emphasis>triggering</emphasis> condition. If at least one triggering condition is defined for a unit,
|
||
then the unit will be started if at least one of the triggering conditions of the unit applies and all
|
||
of the regular (i.e. non-triggering) conditions apply. If you prefix an argument with the pipe symbol
|
||
and an exclamation mark, the pipe symbol must be passed first, the exclamation second. If any of these
|
||
options is assigned the empty string, the list of conditions is reset completely, all previous

condition settings (of any kind) will have no effect.</para>

|
||
<para>The <varname>AssertArchitecture=</varname>, <varname>AssertVirtualization=</varname>, … options
|
||
are similar to conditions but cause the start job to fail (instead of being skipped). The failed check
|
||
is logged. Units with unmet conditions are considered to be in a clean state and will be garbage
|
||
collected if they are not referenced. This means that when queried, the condition failure may or may
|
||
not show up in the state of the unit.</para>
|

<para>Note that neither assertion nor condition expressions result in unit state changes. Also note

that both are checked at the time the job is to be executed, i.e. long after depending jobs and it

<filename>/usr/</filename>'s modification time is newer than the stamp file

<filename>.updated</filename> in the specified directory. This is useful to implement offline

updates of the vendor operating system resources in <filename>/usr/</filename> that require updating

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-update-done.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

update.</para>
|

<para>If the <varname>systemd.condition-needs-update=</varname> option is specified on the kernel

<filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> will not have immediate effect on any following

<varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> checks, until the system is rebooted where the kernel

command line option is not specified anymore.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that to make this scheme effective, the timestamp of <filename>/usr/</filename> should
|
||
be explicitly updated after its contents are modified. The kernel will automatically update
|
||
modification timestamp on a directory only when immediate children of a directory are modified; an
|
||
modification of nested files will not automatically result in mtime of <filename>/usr/</filename>
|
||
being updated.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Also note that if the update method includes a call to execute appropriate post-update steps
|
||
itself, it should not touch the timestamp of <filename>/usr/</filename>. In a typical distribution
|
||
packaging scheme, packages will do any required update steps as part of the installation or
|
||
upgrade, to make package contents immediately usable. <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname>
|
||
should be used with other update mechanisms where such an immediate update does not

happen.</para>

<listitem><para>Verify that the overall system (memory, CPU or IO) pressure is below or equal to a threshold.

This setting takes a threshold value as argument. It can be specified as a simple percentage value,

suffixed with <literal>%</literal>, in which case the pressure will be measured as an average over the last
|

five minutes before the attempt to start the unit is performed.

Alternatively, the average timespan can also be specified using <literal>/</literal> as a separator, for
|

example: <literal>10%/1min</literal>. The supported timespans match what the kernel provides, and are
|
||
limited to <literal>10sec</literal>, <literal>1min</literal> and <literal>5min</literal>. The

<literal>full</literal> PSI will be checked first, and if not found <literal>some</literal> will be

checked. For more details, see the documentation on <ulink

</ulink>.</para>
|

|

<para>Optionally, the threshold value can be prefixed with the slice unit under which the pressure will be checked,
|

followed by a <literal>:</literal>. If the slice unit is not specified, the overall system pressure will be measured,

instead of a particular cgroup's.</para>

<title>Allowing units to be enabled</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>The following snippet (highlighted) allows a unit (e.g.
|
||
<filename>foo.service</filename>) to be enabled via
|
||
<command>systemctl enable</command>:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|

Description=Foo

|

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/foo-daemon
|
||
|
||
<emphasis>[Install]</emphasis>
|
||
<emphasis>WantedBy=multi-user.target</emphasis></programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>After running <command>systemctl enable</command>, a
|
||
symlink
|
||
<filename index="false">/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/foo.service</filename>
|
||
linking to the actual unit will be created. It tells systemd to
|
||
pull in the unit when starting
|
||
<filename>multi-user.target</filename>. The inverse
|
||
<command>systemctl disable</command> will remove that symlink
|
||
again.</para>

|

<example>
|
||
<title>Overriding vendor settings</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>There are two methods of overriding vendor settings in
|
||
unit files: copying the unit file from
|
||
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system</filename> to
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> and modifying the
|
||
chosen settings. Alternatively, one can create a directory named
|
||
<filename><replaceable>unit</replaceable>.d/</filename> within
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> and place a drop-in
|
||
file <filename><replaceable>name</replaceable>.conf</filename>
|
||
there that only changes the specific settings one is interested
|
||
in. Note that multiple such drop-in files are read if
|
||
present, processed in lexicographic order of their filename.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The advantage of the first method is that one easily
|
||
overrides the complete unit, the vendor unit is not parsed at
|
||
all anymore. It has the disadvantage that improvements to the
|
||
unit file by the vendor are not automatically incorporated on
|
||
updates.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The advantage of the second method is that one only
|
||
overrides the settings one specifically wants, where updates to
|
||
the unit by the vendor automatically apply. This has the
|
||
disadvantage that some future updates by the vendor might be
|
||
incompatible with the local changes.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This also applies for user instances of systemd, but with
|
||
different locations for the unit files. See the section on unit
|
||
load paths for further details.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Suppose there is a vendor-supplied unit
|
||
<filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service</filename> with
|
||
the following contents:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
Description=Some HTTP server
|
||
After=remote-fs.target sqldb.service
|
||
Requires=sqldb.service
|
||
AssertPathExists=/srv/webserver
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Type=notify
|
||
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/some-fancy-httpd-server
|
||
Nice=5
|
||
|
||
[Install]
|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Now one wants to change some settings as an administrator:
|
||
firstly, in the local setup, <filename>/srv/webserver</filename>
|
||
might not exist, because the HTTP server is configured to use
|
||
<filename>/srv/www</filename> instead. Secondly, the local
|
||
configuration makes the HTTP server also depend on a memory
|
||
cache service, <filename>memcached.service</filename>, that
|
||
should be pulled in (<varname>Requires=</varname>) and also be
|
||
ordered appropriately (<varname>After=</varname>). Thirdly, in
|
||
order to harden the service a bit more, the administrator would
|
||
like to set the <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> setting (see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details). And lastly, the administrator would like to reset
|
||
the niceness of the service to its default value of 0.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The first possibility is to copy the unit file to
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service</filename> and
|
||
change the chosen settings:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
Description=Some HTTP server
|
||
After=remote-fs.target sqldb.service <emphasis>memcached.service</emphasis>
|
||
Requires=sqldb.service <emphasis>memcached.service</emphasis>
|
||
AssertPathExists=<emphasis>/srv/www</emphasis>
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Type=notify
|
||
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/some-fancy-httpd-server
|
||
<emphasis>Nice=0</emphasis>
|
||
<emphasis>PrivateTmp=yes</emphasis>
|
||
|
||
[Install]
|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Alternatively, the administrator could create a drop-in
|
||
file
|
||
<filename>/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/local.conf</filename>
|
||
with the following contents:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
After=memcached.service
|
||
Requires=memcached.service
|
||
# Reset all assertions and then re-add the condition we want
|
||
AssertPathExists=
|
||
AssertPathExists=/srv/www
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Nice=0
|
||
PrivateTmp=yes</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that for drop-in files, if one wants to remove
|
||
entries from a setting that is parsed as a list (and is not a
|
||
dependency), such as <varname>AssertPathExists=</varname> (or
|
||
e.g. <varname>ExecStart=</varname> in service units), one needs
|
||
to first clear the list before re-adding all entries except the
|
||
one that is to be removed. Dependencies (<varname>After=</varname>, etc.)
|
||
cannot be reset to an empty list, so dependencies can only be
|
||
added in drop-ins. If you want to remove dependencies, you have
|
||
to override the entire unit.</para>
|
||
|
||
</example>
|
||
|
||
<example>
|
||
<title>Top level drop-ins with template units</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Top level per-type drop-ins can be used to change some aspect of
|
||
all units of a particular type. For example, by creating the
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/service.d/</filename>
|
||
directory with a drop-in file, the contents of the drop-in file can be
|
||
applied to all service units. We can take this further by having the
|
||
top-level drop-in instantiate a secondary helper unit. Consider for
|
||
example the following set of units and drop-in files where we install
|
||
an <varname>OnFailure=</varname> dependency for all service units.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/failure-handler@.service</filename>:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
Description=My failure handler for %i
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Type=oneshot
|
||
# Perform some special action for when %i exits unexpectedly.
|
||
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/myfailurehandler %i
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>We can then add an instance of
|
||
<filename index='false'>failure-handler@.service</filename> as an
|
||
<varname>OnFailure=</varname> dependency for all service units.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
<filename index='false'>/etc/systemd/system/service.d/10-all.conf</filename>:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
OnFailure=failure-handler@%N.service
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Now, after running <command>systemctl daemon-reload</command> all
|
||
services will have acquired an <varname>OnFailure=</varname> dependency on
|
||
<filename index='false'>failure-handler@%N.service</filename>. The
|
||
template instance units will also have gained the dependency which results
|
||
in the creation of a recursive dependency chain. systemd will try to detect
|
||
these recursive dependency chains where a template unit directly and
|
||
recursively depends on itself and will remove such dependencies
|
||
automatically if it finds them. If systemd doesn't detect the recursive
|
||
dependency chain, we can break the chain ourselves by disabling the drop-in
|
||
for the template instance units via a symlink to
|
||
<filename index='false'>/dev/null</filename>:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
<command>mkdir /etc/systemd/system/failure-handler@.service.d/</command>
|
||
<command>ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/failure-handler@.service.d/10-all.conf</command>
|
||
<command>systemctl daemon-reload</command>
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>This ensures that if a <filename index='false'>failure-handler@.service</filename> instance fails it will not trigger an instance named
|
||
<filename index='false'>failure-handler@failure-handler.service</filename>.</para>
