<para>Unit configuration files for services, sockets, mount

<para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by

<option>none</option>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If set to <option>control-group</option>, all remaining processes in the control group of this
|
|
unit will be killed on unit stop (for services: after the stop command is executed, as configured
|
|
with <varname>ExecStop=</varname>). If set to <option>mixed</option>, the
|
|
<constant>SIGTERM</constant> signal (see below) is sent to the main process while the subsequent
|
|
<constant>SIGKILL</constant> signal (see below) is sent to all remaining processes of the unit's
|
|
control group. If set to <option>process</option>, only the main process itself is killed (not
|
|
recommended!). If set to <option>none</option>, no process is killed (strongly recommended
|
|
against!). In this case, only the stop command will be executed on unit stop, but no process will be
|
|
killed otherwise. Processes remaining alive after stop are left in their control group and the
|
|
control group continues to exist after stop unless empty.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that it is not recommended to set <varname>KillMode=</varname> to
|
|
<constant>process</constant> or even <constant>none</constant>, as this allows processes to escape
|
|
the service manager's lifecycle and resource management, and to remain running even while their
|
|
service is considered stopped and is assumed to not consume any resources.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Processes will first be terminated via <constant>SIGTERM</constant> (unless the signal to send
|
|
is changed via <varname>KillSignal=</varname> or <varname>RestartKillSignal=</varname>). Optionally,
|
|
this is immediately followed by a <constant>SIGHUP</constant> (if enabled with
|
|
<varname>SendSIGHUP=</varname>). If processes still remain after the main process of a unit has
|
|
exited or the delay configured via the <varname>TimeoutStopSec=</varname> has passed, the termination
|
|
request is repeated with the <constant>SIGKILL</constant> signal or the signal specified via
|
|
<varname>FinalKillSignal=</varname> (unless this is disabled via the <varname>SendSIGKILL=</varname>
|
|
option). See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
