<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
|
<filename>.service</filename> encodes information
|
|
about a process controlled and supervised by
|
|
systemd.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This man page lists the configuration options
|
|
specific to this unit type. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for the common options of all unit configuration
|
|
files. The common configuration items are configured
|
|
in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
|
|
<literal>[Install]</literal> sections. The service
|
|
specific configuration options are configured in the
|
|
<literal>[Service]</literal> section.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additional options are listed in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which define the execution environment the commands
|
|
are executed in.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
|
|
is set to <option>false</option>, service units will
|
|
implicitly have dependencies of type
|
|
<varname>Requires=</varname> and
|
|
<varname>After=</varname> on
|
|
<filename>basic.target</filename> as well as
|
|
dependencies of type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
|
|
<varname>Before=</varname> on
|
|
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
|
|
that normal service units pull in basic system
|
|
initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
|
|
system shutdown. Only services involved with early
|
|
boot or late system shutdown should disable this
|
|
option.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a service is requested under a certain name
|
|
but no unit configuration file is found, systemd looks
|
|
for a SysV init script by the same name (with the
|
|
<filename>.service</filename> suffix removed) and
|
|
dynamically creates a service unit from that
|
|
script. This is useful for compatibility with
|
|
SysV. Note that this compatibility is quite
|
|
comprehensive but not 100%. For details about the
|
|
incomptibilities see the <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Incompatibilities">Incompatibilities
|
|
with SysV</ulink> document.

<title>Options</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Service files must include a
|
|
<literal>[Service]</literal> section, which carries
|
|
information about the service and the process it
|
|
supervises. A number of options that may be used in
|
|
this section are shared with other unit types. These
|
|
options are documented in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
|
options specific to the <literal>[Service]</literal>
|
|
section of service units are the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>Type=</varname></term>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Configures the process
|
|
start-up type for this service
|
|
unit. One of <option>simple</option>,
|
|
<option>forking</option>,
|
|
<option>oneshot</option>,
|
|
<option>dbus</option>,
|
|
<option>notify</option> or
|
|
<option>idle</option>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If set to
|
|
<option>simple</option> (the default
|
|
value if <varname>BusName=</varname>
|
|
is not specified) it is expected that
|
|
the process configured with
|
|
<varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the
|
|
main process of the service. In this
|
|
mode, if the process offers
|
|
functionality to other processes on
|
|
the system its communication channels
|
|
should be installed before the daemon
|
|
is started up (e.g. sockets set up by
|
|
systemd, via socket activation), as
|
|
systemd will immediately proceed
|
|
starting follow-up units.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If set to
|
|
<option>forking</option> it is
|
|
expected that the process configured
|
|
with <varname>ExecStart=</varname>
|
|
will call <function>fork()</function>
|
|
as part of its start-up. The parent process is
|
|
expected to exit when start-up is
|
|
complete and all communication
|
|
channels set up. The child continues
|
|
to run as the main daemon
|
|
process. This is the behaviour of
|
|
traditional UNIX daemons. If this
|
|
setting is used, it is recommended to
|
|
also use the
|
|
<varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so
|
|
that systemd can identify the main
|
|
process of the daemon. systemd will
|
|
proceed starting follow-up units as
|
|
soon as the parent process
|
|
exits.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Behaviour of
|
|
<option>oneshot</option> is similar
|
|
to <option>simple</option>, however
|
|
it is expected that the process has to
|
|
exit before systemd starts follow-up
|
|
units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname>
|
|
is particularly useful for this type
|
|
of service.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Behaviour of
|
|
<option>dbus</option> is similar to
|
|
<option>simple</option>, however it is
|
|
expected that the daemon acquires a
|
|
name on the D-Bus bus, as configured
|
|
by
|
|
<varname>BusName=</varname>. systemd
|
|
will proceed starting follow-up units
|
|
after the D-Bus bus name has been
|
|
acquired. Service units with this
|
|
option configured implicitly gain
|
|
dependencies on the
|
|
<filename>dbus.socket</filename>
|
|
unit. This type is the default if
|
|
<varname>BusName=</varname> is
|
|
specified.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Behaviour of
|
|
<option>notify</option> is similar to
|
|
<option>simple</option>, however it is
|
|
expected that the daemon sends a
|
|
notification message via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or an equivalent call when it finished
|
|
starting up. systemd will proceed
|
|
starting follow-up units after this
|
|
notification message has been sent. If
|
|
this option is used
|
|
<varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> (see
|
|
below) should be set to open access to
|
|
the notification socket provided by
|
|
systemd. If
|
|
<varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> is
|
|
not set, it will be implicitly set to
|
|
<option>main</option>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Behaviour of
|
|
<option>idle</option> is very similar
|
|
to <option>simple</option>, however
|
|
actual execution of a the service
|
|
binary is delayed until all jobs are
|
|
dispatched. This may be used to avoid
|
|
interleaving of output of shell
|
|
services with the status output on the
|
|
console.</para>
