'set-property' has been primarly designed to change some properties of
*active* units.
However it can easily work on inactive units as well. In that case
changes are only saved in a drop-in for futur uses and changes will be
effective when unit will be started.
Actually it already works on inactive units but that was not
documented and not fully supported. Indeed the inactive units had to
be known by the manager otherwise it was reported as not loaded:
$ systemctl status my-test.service
* my-test.service - My Testing Unit
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
Active: inactive (dead)
$ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000
Failed to set unit properties on my-test.service: Unit my-test.service is not loaded.
[ Note: that the unit load state reported by the 'status' command
might be confusing since it claimed the unit as loaded but
'set-property' reported the contrary. ]
One can possibily workaround this by making the unit a dependency of
another active unit so the manager will keep it around:
$ systemctl add-wants multi-user.target my-test.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/my-test.service to /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.
$ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000
$ systemctl status my-test.service
* my-test.service - My Testing Unit
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
`-50-MemoryLimit.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
This patch simply forces 'SetUnitProperties()' to load the unit if
it's not already the case.
It also documents the fact that 'set-property' can be used on inactive
units.

Remove support for RequiresOverridable= and RequisiteOverridable=
|
|
As discussed at systemd.conf 2015 and on also raised on the ML:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/034880.html
This removes the two XyzOverridable= unit dependencies, that were
basically never used, and do not enhance user experience in any way.
Most folks looking for the functionality this provides probably opt for
the "ignore-dependencies" job mode, and that's probably a good idea.
Hence, let's simplify systemd's dependency engine and remove these two
dependency types (and their inverses).
The unit file parser and the dbus property parser will now redirect
the settings/properties to result in an equivalent non-overridable
dependency. In the case of the unit file parser we generate a warning,
to inform the user.
The dbus properties for this unit type stay available on the unit
objects, but they are now hidden from usual introspection and will
always return the empty list when queried.
This should provide enough compatibility for the few unit files that
actually ever made use of this.

[Install] data
Some distributions use alias unit files via symlinks in /usr to cover
for legacy service names. With this change we'll allow "systemctl
enable" on such aliases.
Previously, our rule was that symlinks are user configuration that
"systemctl enable" + "systemctl disable" creates and removes, while unit
files is where the instructions to do so are store. As a result of the
rule we'd never read install information through symlinks, since that
would mix enablement state with installation instructions.
Now, the new rule is that only symlinks inside of /etc are
configuration. Unit files, and symlinks in /usr are now valid for
installation instructions.
This patch is quite a rework of the whole install logic, and makes the
following addional changes:
- Adds a complete test "test-instal-root" that tests the install logic
pretty comprehensively.
- Never uses canonicalize_file_name(), because that's incompatible with
operation relative to a specific root directory.
- unit_file_get_state() is reworked to return a proper error, and
returns the state in a call-by-ref parameter. This cleans up confusion
between the enum type and errno-like errors.
- The new logic puts a limit on how long to follow unit file symlinks:
it will do so only for 64 steps at max.
- The InstallContext object's fields are renamed to will_process and
has_processed (will_install and has_installed) since they are also
used for deinstallation and all kinds of other operations.
- The root directory is always verified before use.
- install.c is reordered to place the exported functions together.
- Stricter rules are followed when traversing symlinks: the unit suffix
must say identical, and it's not allowed to link between regular units
and templated units.
- Various modernizations
- The "invalid" unit file state has been renamed to "bad", in order to
avoid confusion between UNIT_FILE_INVALID and
_UNIT_FILE_STATE_INVALID. Given that the state should normally not be
seen and is not documented this should not be a problematic change.
The new name is now documented however.
Fixes #1375, #1718, #1706

Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd
developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they
existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted
without harm.
The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system
is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire...
and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo"
those changes, which isn't really possible.
Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking
that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone,
and snapshots cannot be created anymore.
New systemctl says:
Unknown operation snapshot.
Old systemctl says:
Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed.
IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored:
Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored

- Existing documentation did not mention that --plain omits the bullets and works on list-units and list-machines.

Shell completion tweaks
|
|
booted with systemd
This sounds like the better place to expose this than in "systemd-notify
--booted".
Also document the so far undocumented "unknown" state the command might
return. And rearrange the table of states documented to be more like the
one for "is-running".
Also, don't document the precise exit code of this function, just say
errors are reported != 0 or > 0...
|
|
This mirrors --type=help and simplifies completion scripts.
The array of states is dense, so the is no need to check if the string is null.

When a systemd service running in a container exits with a non-zero
code, it can be useful to terminate the container immediately and get
the exit code back to the host, when systemd-nspawn returns. This was
not possible to do. This patch adds the following to make it possible:
- Add a read-only "ExitCode" property on PID 1's "Manager" bus object.
By default, it is 0 so the behaviour stays the same as previously.
- Add a method "SetExitCode" on the same object. The method fails when
called on baremetal: it is only allowed in containers or in user
session.
- Add support in systemctl to call "systemctl exit 42". It reuses the
existing code for user session.
- Add exit.target and systemd-exit.service to the system instance.
- Change main() to actually call systemd-shutdown to exit() with the
correct value.
- Add verb 'exit' in systemd-shutdown with parameter --exit-code
- Update systemctl manpage.
I used the following to test it:
| $ sudo rkt --debug --insecure-skip-verify run \
| --mds-register=false --local docker://busybox \
| --exec=/bin/chroot -- /proc/1/root \
| systemctl --force exit 42
| ...
| Container rkt-895a0cba-5c66-4fa5-831c-e3f8ddc5810d failed with error code 42.
| $ echo $?
| 42

Enable unprivileged users to set wall message on a shutdown
operation. When the message is set via the --message option,
it is logged together with the default shutdown message.
$ systemctl reboot --message "Applied kernel updates."
$ journalctl -b -1
...
systemd-logind[27]: System is rebooting. (Applied kernel updates.)

This description should provide the general rule, without
listing all the subcommands, which is bound to get out of date
too often.

Me again :) Just noticed one of these in a manpage and did another pass
to clean them up. See 16dad32e437fdf2ffca03cc60a083d84bd31886f for
explanation, though the link needs updating:

If the EDITOR environment variable is not set, the Debian policy
recommends to use the /usr/bin/editor program as default editor.
This file is managed via the dpkg alternatives mechanism and typically
used in Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives to configure the default editor.
See section 11.4 of the Debian policy [1].
Therefor prefer /usr/bin/editor over specific editors if available.

Export the MOUNT_PATH and UMOUNT_PATH variables as XML entities and use them in
the systemctl.1 manpage instead of hardcoding the path in /usr/bin.
Tested:
- Ran ./configure ac_cv_path_MOUNT_PATH=/bin/mount (same for umount) and
rebuilt the manpages, confirmed that the correct path was in man/systemctl.1
- Rebuilt man/systemd.directives.xml and the man pages derived from it,
confirmed that the correct paths were there as well.
|
|
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

--irreversible/--ignore-dependencies/--fail are deprececated since 4dc5b821ae737914499119e29811fc3346e3d97c.
Also add shell completions for --jobs-mode.

Make this blocking behaviour optional with --no-block, similar to
systemctl's switch of this name.

This is largely based on http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Generators/,
and obsoletes that page. It seems that we do a much better
job of keeping man pages up-to-date compared to wiki pages.
Man pages are also easier to find for users.

It helps editing units by either creating a drop-in file, like
/etc/systemd/system/my.service.d/override.conf, or by copying the
original unit from /usr/lib/systemd/ to /etc/systemd/ if the --full
option is specified.
It invokes an editor on temporary files related to the unit files and
if the editor exited successfully, then it renames the temporary files
to their original names (e.g. my.service or override.conf) and
daemon-reload is invoked.
If the temporary file is empty the modification is canceled.

The previous version was a bit too vague. It is better
to simply list all dependency types that are followed.
Previous version also made an emphasis on dependencies introduced by
configuration. But this command (or systemd) don't care about this
distinction between configured and automatically added dependencies at
all. This distinctionis removed from the main description, and an
explanatory paragraph is added to remind the user that all
dependencies are shown, no matter where they come from.

XML files that use 2ch indenting
In the long run we really should figure out if we want to stick with 8ch
or 2ch indenting, and not continue with half-and-half. For now, just
make emacs aware of the files that use 2ch indenting.
|
|
Also, correct mentions of "units" instead of "unit files" in the table,
and terminate all sentences with a full stop.
|
|
If a unit contains only Also=, with no Alias= or WantedBy=, it shouldn't
be reported as static. New 'indirect' status shall be introduced.

This effectively reverts 599b6322f19ec619ddc294d0e7880b669040cf66, which
in turn partially reverted 4dc5b821ae737914499119e29811fc3346e3d97c.
The --failed switch is not documented on purpose, since it is redundant
due to --state=failed, which it predates. Due to that it's not
documented in --help either.
We generally try to avoid redundant interfaces, but if we need to keep
them for compatibility we do so, however remove them from documentation
to ensure they are not used in future.
The man page is now changed to include a comment about the fact that
--failed is not documented on purpose. Also, explicitly mention
--state=failed as example for --state.
