This is useful on ".target" + units, to limit the maximum time a target remains + undispatched in the run queue, and to trigger an emergency + operation in such a case. This is now used by default to + turn off the system if boot-up (as defined by everything in + basic.target) hangs and does not complete for at least + 15min. Also, if power-off or reboot hang for at least 30min + an immediate power-off/reboot operation is triggered. This + functionality is particularly useful to increase reliability + on embedded devices, but also on laptops which might + accidentally get powered on when carried in a backpack and + whose boot stays stuck in a hard disk encryption passphrase + question. + * systemd-logind can be configured to also handle lid switch events even when the machine is docked or multiple displays are attached (HandleLidSwitchDocked= option). |
