+ <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
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <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>

+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>The following options are understood:</para>

+ <term><option>--ready</option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Inform the init system about service start-up
+ completion. This is equivalent to <command>systemd-notify

+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--pid=</option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Inform the init system about the main PID of
+ the daemon. Takes a PID as argument. If the argument is
+ omitted, the PID of the process that invoked
+ <command>systemd-notify</command> is used. This is equivalent
+ to <command>systemd-notify MAINPID=$PID</command>. For details
+ about the semantics of this option see

+ <listitem><para>Send a free-form status string for the daemon

+ STATUS=...</command>. For details about the semantics of this

+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--booted</option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Returns 0 if the system was booted up with

+ options. For details about the semantics of this option, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_booted</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. An
+ alternate way to check for this state is to call
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ with the <command>is-system-running</command> command. It will
+ return <literal>offline</literal> if the system was not booted

+ <title>Start-up Notification and Status Updates</title>
+
+ <para>A simple shell daemon that sends start-up notifications
+ after having set up its communication channel. During runtime it
+ sends further status updates to the init system:</para>
