2016-02-14Promote systemd-activate to /usr/bin/systemd-socket-activateZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool. The name is changed to better indicate what it does.
2016-02-13activate: allow multiple, possibly invalid, fd namesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Previous code only allowed a single name to be passed, and duplicated it over all descriptors. For the sake of testing, allow different names and in arbitrary number. If just one is given, duplicate it to match the number of sockets. This matches previuos behaviour. Since this is a testing tool, it seems useful to allow passing invalid names to test application behaviour with invalid names. Hence, only warn. When warning, escape the name.
2016-02-10activate: add a new switch --inetd to enable inetd-style socket activationLennart Poettering
Previously, using --accept would enable inetd-style socket activation in addition to per-connection operation. This is now split into two switches: --accept only switches between per-connection or single-instance operation. --inetd switches between inetd-style or new-style fd passing. This breaks the interface of the tool, but given that it is a debugging tool shipped in /usr/lib/systemd/ it's not really a public interface. This change allows testing new-style per-connection daemons.

2015-10-06core: add support for naming file descriptors passed using socket activationLennart Poettering
This adds support for naming file descriptors passed using socket activation. The names are passed in a new $LISTEN_FDNAMES= environment variable, that matches the existign $LISTEN_FDS= one and contains a colon-separated list of names. This also adds support for naming fds submitted to the per-service fd store using FDNAME= in the sd_notify() message. This also adds a new FileDescriptorName= setting for socket unit files to set the name for fds created by socket units. This also adds a new call sd_listen_fds_with_names(), that is similar to sd_listen_fds(), but also returns the names of the fds. systemd-activate gained the new --fdname= switch to specify a name for testing socket activation. This is based on #1247 by Maciej Wereski. Fixes #1247.
2015-06-18man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
2015-05-28man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger
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.

2014-11-21man: add emacs header to get correct indention in nxml-mode for the manpage ↵Lennart Poettering
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.

2013-12-30acticate: rename --environment to --setenvZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Nspawn has --setenv, and systemd itself accepts systemd.setenv. It is nice to have the same parameter name everywhere. Old name is accepted, but not advertised.
2013-09-12man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
2013-03-15systemd-activate: pass environment variables throughZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I need this to test half-installed socket-activated python script, which requires PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. I assume that other people might find it useful to. -E VAR passes through VAR from the environment, while -E VAR=value sets VAR=value. systemd-activate -E PYTHONPATH=/var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib64/python3.3/site-packages -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/inst1/usr/lib -l 2000 python3 -c 'from systemd.daemon import listen_fds; print(listen_fds())'
