This naming convention is more inline with other systemd daemon
unit names (systemd-logind.service, systemd-localed.service etc)
The companion .socket units have also been renamed, however the
-trigger and -settle units keep their current name as these are
not directly related to daemon process itself.
This replaces the symlink based dependency by an explicit one in the
unit file so that we avoid the dangling symlink when no display manager
is installed.
The rule is that units that encapsulate our own code are prefixed with
"systemd-". Since the fsck units invoke our own code, hence add the
missing prefix. Since a long long time the fsck units didn't invoke the
naked fsck binaries anymore, and it is unlikely that this well ever
change. On the opposite: the code in systemd-fsck will probably get more
complex over time to handle fsck progress to plymouth forwarding.
Same for quotacheck (but not quotaon!)
Names= is a source of errors, simply because alias names specified like
this only become relevant after a unit has been loaded but cannot be
used to load a unit.
Let's get rid of the confusion and drop this field. To establish alias
names peope should use symlinks, which have the the benefit of being
useful as key to load a unit, even though they are not taken into
account if unit names are listed but they haven't been explicitly
referenced before.
This option never made much sense. It was originally intended to make
sure that the usual startup output of sysv scripts goes to the terminal.
However, since SysV scripts started from a terminal would not output to
that terminal, but rather /dev/console this effect was more often than
not actually taking place. Nowadays systemd has much nicer boot time
status output than SysV which makes the sysv output redundant. Finally,
all output of services goes to the journal anyway, and is not lost.
Hence, let's drop this option, and simplify things a bit.
Since the binary name is now hidden away in /usr/lib/ the primary user
handle for the udev service is the unit name, hence change the man page
to be available under the unit name, and make the binary name an alias
for it.
This moves FsckPassNo= and SysVStartPriority= into its own
"Compatibility Options" section in the man page to clarify that these
options are not useful for anything but establishing a limited amount of
compatibility.
Also stop exposing these options on the bus.
This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid
switch over from acpid.
This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for
the lid switch.
If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the
assumption that the graphical session does this.
This also ensures that caps dropped from the bounding set are also
dropped from the inheritable set, to be extra-secure. Usually that should
change very little though as the inheritable set is empty for all our uses
anyway.
UnitPath= is also writable via native units and may be used by generators
to clarify from which file a unit is generated. This patch also hooks up
the cryptsetup and fstab generators to set UnitPath= accordingly.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
Not everyone is interested in every kind of deltas (and some might
even be interested knowing which files do not have overrides), so this
here is an implementation of a --type=LIST... option for
systemd-delta, that makes it possible to filter what subset of deltas
we want.
The available modifiers are masked, equivalent, redirected, overriden,
and unchanged - they should be self explanatory, and the man page
explains them in a little more detail anyway.
As a side effect, in case of overriden files, the diff output was made
optional.
By default, everything is shown (with a diff, if appropriate) except
for completely unchanged files.

RequiresMountsFor= is a shortcut for adding requires and after
dependencies to all mount units neeed for the specified paths.
This solves a couple of issues regarding dep loop cycles for encrypted
swap.
The ability to set MountAuto=no and SwapAuto=no was useful during the
adoption phase of systemd, so that distributions could stick to their
classic mount scripts a bit longer. It is about time to get rid of it
now.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
This separates user/group NSS lookups from host/network NSS lookups.
By default order all network mounts after host/network NSS lookups now,
and logind execution after user/group NSS lookups.
This adds minimal hardware watchdog support to PID 1. The idea is that
PID 1 supervises and watchdogs system services, while the hardware
watchdog is used to supervise PID 1.
This adds two hardware watchdog configuration options, for the runtime
watchdog and for a shutdown watchdog. The former is active during normal
operation, the latter only at reboots to ensure that if a clean reboot
times out we reboot nonetheless.
If the runtime watchdog is enabled PID 1 will automatically wake up at
half the configured interval and write to the watchdog daemon.
By default we enable the shutdown watchdog, but leave the runtime
watchdog disabled in order not to break independent hardware watchdog
daemons people might be using.
This is only the most basic hookup. If necessary we can later on hook
up the watchdog ping more closely with services deemed crucial.
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
systemctl
loginctl
journalctl
For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
systemd-systemctl → systemctl
systemd-loginctl → loginctl
systemd-journalctl → journalctl
We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
stay the way they are.
