As requested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557. docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer. In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other places.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-notify</command> may be called by daemon
|
|
scripts to notify the init system about status changes. It can be
|
|
used to send arbitrary information, encoded in an
|
|
environment-block-like list of strings. Most importantly, it can be
|
|
used for start-up completion notification.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is mostly just a wrapper around
|
|
<function>sd_notify()</function> and makes this functionality
|
|
available to shell scripts. For details see

<para>The command line may carry a list of environment variables
|
|
to send as part of the status update.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that systemd will refuse reception of status updates
|

from this command unless <varname>NotifyAccess=all</varname> is

set for the service unit this command is called from.</para>
