+
+    <para>Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files,
+    but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of
+    systemd. They are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name
+    ends in <literal>.scope</literal> refers to a scope unit. Scopes
+    units manage a set of system processes. Unlike service units, scope
+    units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off
+    processes on its own.</para>
+
+    <para>The main purpose of scope units is grouping worker processes
+    of a system service for organization and for managing resources.</para>
+
+    <para><command>systemd-run <option>--scope</option></command> may
+    be used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit from the
+    command line.</para>
+
+    <para>See the <ulink
+    url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/">New
+    Control Group Interfaces</ulink> for an introduction on how to make
+    use of scope units from programs.</para>

+    <title>Automatic Dependencies</title>
+
+    <para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=false</varname>
+    is used, scope units will implicitly have dependencies of
+    type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
+    <varname>Before=</varname> on
+    <filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
+    that scope units are removed prior to system
+    shutdown. Only scope units involved with early boot or
+    late system shutdown should disable this option.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Additional implicit dependencies may be added as result of
+    resource control parameters as documented in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
