2014-09-06man: fix references to systemctl man page which is now in section 1Michael Biebl
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760613
2014-08-22core: introduce "poweroff" as new failure action typesLennart Poettering
Also, change the default action on a system start-up timeout to powering off.
2014-08-22core: add support for a configurable system-wide start-up timeoutLennart Poettering
When this system-wide start-up timeout is hit we execute one of the failure actions already implemented for services that fail. This should not only be useful on embedded devices, but also on laptops which have the power-button reachable when the lid is closed. This devices, when in a backpack might get powered on by accident due to the easily reachable power button. We want to make sure that the system turns itself off if it starts up due this after a while. When the system manages to fully start-up logind will suspend the machine by default if the lid is closed. However, in some cases we don't even get as far as logind, and the boot hangs much earlier, for example because we ask for a LUKS password that nobody ever enters. Yeah, this is a real-life problem on my Yoga 13, which has one of those easily accessible power buttons, even if the device is closed.
2014-08-21service: allow services of Type=oneshot that specify no ExecStart= commandsLennart Poettering
This is useful for services that simply want to run something on shutdown, but not at bootup. They should only set ExecStop= but leave ExecStart= unset.
2014-08-07man: correct references to DefaultTimeout*SecZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Noticed by thp on #systemd.
2014-07-03man: reference RestartForceExitStatus= from the Restart= descriptionLennart Poettering
2014-07-03core: introduce new RestartForceExitStatus= service settingLennart Poettering
This does the inverse of RestartPreventExitStatus=: it forces a restart of a service when a certain exit status is returned by a service process.
2014-06-28doc: grammatical correctionsJan Engelhardt
2014-06-05core: introduce new Restart=on-abnormal settingLennart Poettering
Restart=on-abnormal is similar to Restart=on-failure, but avoids restarts on unclean exit codes (but still doing restarts on all obviously unclean exits, such as timeouts, signals, coredumps, watchdog timeouts). Also see: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/191
2014-05-16man: fix some minor language typosLennart Poettering
2014-05-16man: clarify that the ExecReload= command should be synchronousLennart Poettering
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-May/019054.html
2014-04-24service: add FailureAction= optionMichael Olbrich
It has the same possible values as StartLimitAction= and is executed immediately if a service fails.
2014-04-21service: add support for reboot argument when triggered by StartLimitAction=Michael Olbrich
When rebooting with systemctl, an optional argument can be passed to the reboot system call. This makes it possible the specify the argument in a service file and use it when the service triggers a restart. This is useful to distinguish between manual reboots and reboots caused by failing services.
2014-02-21man: there is no ExecStopPre= for service unitsLennart Poettering
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73177
2014-02-17doc: update punctuationJan Engelhardt
Resolve spotted issues related to missing or extraneous commas, dashes.
2014-02-17Revert "man: systemd.service(5): clarify behavior of SuccessExitStatus"Lennart Poettering
This reverts commit 29e254f7f093c07a1ec7e845e60203357f585235. Conflicts: man/systemd.service.xml
2014-02-14man: use spaces instead of tabsJason St. John
Several sections of the man pages included intermixed tabs and spaces; this commit replaces all tabs with spaces.
2014-02-14man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO, so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc.
2014-02-14man: fix grammatical errors and other formatting issuesJason St. John
* standardize capitalization of STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR * reword some sentences for clarity * reflow some very long lines to be shorter than ~80 characters * add some missing <literal>, <constant>, <varname>, <option>, and <filename> tags
2014-02-14man: always place <programlisting> and </programlisting> in a line with ↵Lennart Poettering
actual sources, so that we don't get spurious newlines in the man page output
2014-02-14man: systemd.service(5): clarify behavior of SuccessExitStatusDave Reisner
The behavior of this is a little cryptic in that $MAINPID must exit as a direct result of receiving a signal in order for a listed signal to be considered a success condition.
2014-01-09man: mention which variables will be expanded in ExecStartZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-12-27man: add a note about propagating signalsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-12-27man: fix Type= reference v2Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
grawity: It looks like the old version _was_ correct – the default value will be "Type=dbus" if the service has a BusName set. Suggested change: "if neither Type= nor BusName= is specified"
2013-12-26man: fix Type= referenceMarcos Felipe Rasia de Mello
Simple man page fix attached. -- Marcos From 268d10a2f8769fd1dcb9440670af15ac02c5df89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcos Mello <marcosfrm@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2013 17:19:04 -0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] man: fix Type= reference
2013-12-25man: grammar and wording improvementsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: - missing words, preposition choice. - change of /lib to /usr/lib, because that is what most distros are using as the system-wide location for systemd/udev files.
2013-12-25man: improvements to comma placementJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: comma placement.
2013-12-25man: resolve word omissionsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: word omissions and word class choice.
2013-12-14man: remove advice to avoid setting the same var more than onceZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
So far the compatibility with .desktop settings hasn't been imporant at all, and we do not want people to write convoluted unit files.
2013-12-14man: beef up ExecStart descriptionZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
We have lots of questions from people who assume that shell syntax works here, so let's be very explicit what is allowed and what is not. A few examples should also help. http://bugs.debian.org/732156

2013-11-07man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted: comma setting, missing words/preposition choice.
2013-11-05Configurable Timeouts/Restarts default valuesOleksii Shevchuk
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71132 Patch adds DefaultTimeoutStartSec, DefaultTimeoutStopSec, DefaultRestartSec configuration options to manager configuration file.
2013-10-19mount/service: drop FsckPassNo supportTom Gundersen
We now treat passno as boleans in the generators, and don't need this any more. fsck itself is able to sequentialize checks on the same local media, so in the common case the ordering is redundant. It is still possible to force an order by using .d fragments, in case that is desired.
2013-10-15man: 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…
2013-09-27man: drop references to "cgroup" wher appropriateLennart Poettering
Since cgroups are mostly now an implementation detail of systemd lets deemphasize it a bit in the man pages. This renames systemd.cgroup(5) to systemd.resource-control(5) and uses the term "resource control" rather than "cgroup" where appropriate. This leaves the word "cgroup" in at a couple of places though, like for example systemd-cgtop and systemd-cgls where cgroup stuff is at the core of what is happening.
2013-09-19clarify $ escaping in Exec* linesAndrey Borzenkov
Explain that literal $ can be passed by doubling it.
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)
2013-09-12service: Implement 'on-watchdog' restart optionHannes Reinecke
Services using the watchdog option might want to be restarted only if the watchdog triggers.
2013-09-11man: document that Type=notify is currently incompatible with PrivateNetwork=yesLennart Poettering
2013-09-10man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits. In this particular commit: - the usual comma fixes - expand contractions (this is prose)
2013-07-12man: document the slice and scope units, add systemd.cgroup(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-07-02man: add more formatting markupZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-07-02man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pagesJason St. John
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas, capitalization, spelling, etc. To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were revised. [zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]
2013-06-26man: always supply quotes around literalsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
When manpages are displayed on a terminal, <literal>s are indistinguishable from surrounding text. Add quotes everywhere, remove duplicate quotes, and tweak a few lists for consistent formatting. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874631

2013-03-13man: Document the actual behaviour of ExecStopPostMathieu Bridon
The documentation makes it sound like ExecStopPost is only run when stopping the service with `systemctl stop foo.service` However, that is not the case, as it also gets run when the service unexpectedly exists, crashes, or gets SIGKILLed.
