2013-03-15man: fix grammarZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.

2013-01-26man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all untagged <varname> elements. Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if similarly named options exist elsewhere.

2012-10-26man: typo fixesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890 Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown" to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit 8bd3b8620c80d0f2383f2fb04315411fc8077ca1

2012-10-16Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."Andrew Eikum
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd. So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before in my English-mother-tongue life. Some quick Googling turned up a reference: <http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html> I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g. "the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-, respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence "Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker. This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully, grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing "resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably just do in the future. The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I don't feel privileged to correct. Signed-off-by: Andrew Eikum <aeikum@codeweavers.com>

SuccessExitStatus= a bit
2012-08-14service: add options RestartPreventExitStatus and SuccessExitStatusLukas Nykryn
In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus which will not cause restart of a service. Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified by SuccessfulExitStatus.
2012-08-08systemd: introduced new timeout typesMichal Sekletar
Makes possible to specify separate timeout for start and stop of the service. [ Improved the manpage. Coding style fix. -- michich ]

2012-05-30service: mark compat options as suchLennart Poettering
This moves FsckPassNo= and SysVStartPriority= into its own "Compatibility Options" section in the man page to clarify that these options are not useful for anything but establishing a limited amount of compatibility. Also stop exposing these options on the bus.

2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
