<para>This man pages lists the common configuration
|
2010-07-09 01:06:24 +07:00
|
|
|
options of all the unit types. These options need to
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
be configured in the [Unit] resp. [Install]
|
2010-06-24 22:22:52 +07:00
|
|
|
section of the unit files.</para>
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install]
|
2010-07-09 01:06:24 +07:00
|
|
|
sections described here, each unit should have a
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
type-specific section, e.g. [Service] for a service
|
|
|
|
|
unit. See the respective man pages for more
|
|
|
|
|
information.</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 is prefixed
|
|
|
|
|
with <option>X-</option> it is ignored completely by
|
|
|
|
|
systemd. Applications may use this to include
|
|
|
|
|
additional information in the unit files.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Boolean arguments used in unit files can be
|
2010-07-02 22:19:52 +07:00
|
|
|
written in various formats. For positive settings the
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
strings <option>1</option>, <option>yes</option>,
|
|
|
|
|
<option>true</option> and <option>on</option> are
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent. For negative settings the strings
|
|
|
|
|
<option>0</option>, <option>no</option>,
|
|
|
|
|
<option>false</option> and <option>off</option> are

equivalent.</para>

2010-07-02 00:39:35 +07:00
|
|
|
<para>Time span values encoded in unit files can be
|
|
|
|
|
written in various formats. A stand-alone number
|
|
|
|
|
specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time
|
2010-07-02 14:51:25 +07:00
|
|
|
unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of
|
2010-07-09 01:06:24 +07:00
|
|
|
multiple values with units is supported, in which case
|
2010-07-02 00:39:35 +07:00
|
|
|
the values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50
|
|
|
|
|
seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200
|
|
|
|
|
milliseconds, i.e. 120200ms. The following time units
|
|
|
|
|
are understood: s, min, h, d, w, ms, us.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with # or ; are
|
2010-07-08 02:22:56 +07:00
|
|
|
ignored. This may be used for commenting. Lines ending
|
|
|
|
|
in a backslash are concatenated with the following
|
|
|
|
|
line while reading and the backslash is replaced by a
|
|
|
|
|
space character. This may be used to wrap long lines.</para>
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>If a line starts with <option>.include</option>
|
2010-07-09 01:06:24 +07:00
|
|
|
followed by a file name, the specified file will be
|
2011-10-03 17:50:10 +07:00
|
|
|
parsed at this point. Make sure that the file that is
|
2012-04-17 19:35:48 +07:00
|
|
|
included has the appropriate section headers before
|
2011-10-03 17:50:10 +07:00
|
|
|
any directives.</para>
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Along with a unit file
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>foo.service</filename> a directory
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>foo.service.wants/</filename> may exist. All
|
|
|
|
|
units symlinked from such a directory are implicitly
|
|
|
|
|
added as dependencies of type
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>Wanted=</varname> to the unit. This is useful
|
|
|
|
|
to hook units into the start-up of other units,
|
|
|
|
|
without having to modify their unit configuration
|
|
|
|
|
files. For details about the semantics of
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>Wanted=</varname> see below. The preferred
|
|
|
|
|
way to create symlinks in the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>.wants/</filename> directory of a service is
|
2010-07-24 05:53:33 +07:00
|
|
|
with the <command>enable</command> command of the
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
tool which reads information from the [Install]
|
2011-03-18 09:32:47 +07:00
|
|
|
section of unit files. (See below.) A similar
|
|
|
|
|
functionality exists for <varname>Requires=</varname>
|
|
|
|
|
type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>.requires/</filename> in this case.</para>
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that while systemd offers a flexible
|
|
|
|
|
dependency system between units it is recommended to
|
|
|
|
|
use this functionality only sparsely and instead rely
|
|
|
|
|
on techniques such as bus-based or socket-based
|
|
|
|
|
activation which makes dependencies implicit, which
|
|
|
|
|
both results in a simpler and more flexible
|
|
|
|
|
system.</para>
|
2010-07-02 04:49:50 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Some unit names reflect paths existing in the
|
|
|
|
|
file system name space. Example: a device unit
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>dev-sda.device</filename> refers to a device
|
|
|
|
|
with the device node <filename>/dev/sda</filename> in
|
|
|
|
|
the file system namespace. If this applies a special
|
2010-07-09 02:48:09 +07:00
|
|
|
way to escape the path name is used, so that the
|
|
|
|
|
result is usable as part of a file name. Basically,
|
|
|
|
|
given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all
|
|
|
|
|
unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by
|
|
|
|
|
C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is
|
|
|
|
|
encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial
|
|
|
|
|
and ending "/" is removed from all paths during
|
|
|
|
|
transformation. This escaping is reversible.</para>
|
2010-07-02 04:49:50 +07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Optionally, units may be instantiated from a
|
|
|
|
|
template file at runtime. 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
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem. If that yields no success and the unit
|
|
|
|
|
name contains an @ character, systemd will look for a
|
|
|
|
|
unit template that shares the same name but with the
|
|
|
|
|
instance string (i.e. the part between the @ 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
|
2011-09-05 15:35:57 +07:00
|
|
|
it is found.</para>

|
|
<para>To refer to the instance string from
|
2010-07-02 04:49:50 +07:00
|
|
|
within the configuration file you may use the special
|
|
|
|
|
<literal>%i</literal> specifier in many of the
|
2011-09-05 15:35:57 +07:00
|

the inverse of

<varname>Before=</varname>, i.e. while

<varname>After=</varname> ensures that

|
|
the configured unit is started after
|
|
|
|
|
the listed unit finished starting up,
|

<varname>Before=</varname> ensures the

opposite, i.e. that the configured

unit is fully started up before the

two units with an ordering dependency

|
|
between them are shut down, the

|
|
|
inverse of the start-up order is
|
2010-06-25 00:08:38 +07:00
|
|
|
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. If one unit with an ordering
|
|
|
|
|
dependency on another unit is shut
|
|
|
|
|
down while the latter is started up,
|
|
|

the shut down is ordered before the

|
ordering dependency is actually of
|
|
|
|
|
type <varname>After=</varname> or
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>Before=</varname>. If two

between them they are shut down

security module is enabled on the

The test may be negated by prepending

2011-10-11 20:16:52 +07:00
|
|
|
an exclamation

|
|

mark. <varname>ConditionCapability=</varname>
|

may be used to check whether the given
|
|
|
|
|
capability exists in the capability
|
|
|
|
|
bounding set of the service manager
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e. this does not check whether
|
|
|
|
|
capability is actually available in
|
|
|
|
|
the permitted or effective sets, see
|
|
|
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
|
|
|
for details). Pass a capability name
|
|
|
|
|
such as <literal>CAP_MKNOD</literal>,
|
|
|
|
|
possibly prefixed with an exclamation
|
|
|
|
|
mark to negate the check. Finally,
|
2010-11-11 04:28:19 +07:00
|
|
|
<varname>ConditionNull=</varname> may
|
|
|
|
|
be used to add a constant condition
|
|
|
|
|
check value to the unit. It takes a
|
|
|
|
|
boolean argument. If set to
|
|
|
|
|
<varname>false</varname> the condition
|
|
|
|
|
will always fail, otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
succeed. If multiple conditions are
|
2011-02-22 04:07:55 +07:00
|
|
|
specified the unit will be executed if
|
2011-03-08 09:04:47 +07:00
|
|
|
all of them apply (i.e. a logical AND
|
|
|
|
|
is applied). Condition checks can be
|
|
|
|
|
prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) in
|
|
|
|
|
which case a condition becomes a
|
|
|
|
|
triggering condition. If at least one
|
|
|
|
|
triggering condition is defined for a
|
|
|
|
|
unit then the unit will be executed if
|
|
|
|
|
at least one of the triggering
|
|
|
|
|
conditions apply and all of the
|
|
|
|
|
non-triggering conditions. If you
|
|
|
|
|
prefix an argument with the pipe
|
|
|
|
|
symbol and an exclamation mark the
|
|
|
|
|
pipe symbol must be passed first, the
|
2011-09-21 06:29:38 +07:00
|
|
|
exclamation second. Except for
