2016-06-19man: match runlevel symlinks recommendation with our makefile (#3563)Lukáš Nykrýn
In makefile we create symlinks runlevel5.target to graphical.target and runlevel2-4.target to multi-user.target. Let's say the same thing in systemd.special manpage.
2016-05-12Create initrd-root-device.target synchronization point (#3239)Daniel Drake
Add a synchronization point so that custom initramfs units can run after the root device becomes available, before it is fsck'd and mounted. This is useful for custom initramfs units that may modify the root disk partition table, where the root device is not known in advance (it's dynamically selected by the generators).

2015-09-30man: update description of exit.targetZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
exit.target is now used for both system and user sessions, so remove "on user service manager exit". Also reword that paragraph: services will be killed before the manager exits, even if they do not conflict with shutdown target, but we recommend that they conflict with shutdown target so that systemd schedules them to be stopped immediately when starting to exit. In the first paragraph, containers should be mentioned last, and the more general systems first.
2015-09-21containers: systemd exits with non-zero codeAlban Crequy
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 Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1290

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.

2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

2013-03-25units: introduce remote-fs-setup.target to pull in dependencies from remote ↵Lennart Poettering
mounts This introduces remote-fs-setup.target independently of remote-fs-pre.target. The former is only for pulling things in, the latter only for ordering. The new semantics: remote-fs-setup.target: is pulled in automatically by all remote mounts. Shall be used to pull in other units that want to run when at least one remote mount is set up. Is not ordered against the actual mount units, in order to allow activation of its dependencies even 'a posteriori', i.e. when a mount is established outside of systemd and is only picked up by it. remote-fs-pre.target: needs to be pulled in automatically by the implementing service, is otherwise not part of the initial transaction. This is ordered before all remote mount units. A service that wants to be pulled in and run before all remote mounts should hence have: a) WantedBy=remote-fs-setup.target -- so that it is pulled in b) Wants=remote-fs-pre.target + Before=remote-fs-pre.target -- so that it is ordered before the mount point, normally.

into for boot
2013-03-15Make initrd.target the default target in the initrdHarald Hoyer
First, rename root-fs.target to initrd-root-fs.target to clarify its usage. Mount units with "x-initrd-rootfs.mount" are now ordered before initrd-root-fs.target. As we sometimes construct /sysroot mounts in /etc/fstab in the initrd, we want these to be mounted before the initrd-root-fs.target is active. initrd.target can be the default target in the initrd. (normal startup) : : v basic.target | ______________________/| / | | sysroot.mount | | | v | initrd-root-fs.target | | | v | initrd-parse-etc.service (custom initrd services) | | v | (sysroot-usr.mount and | various mounts marked | with fstab option | x-initrd.mount) | | | v | initrd-fs.target | | \______________________ | \| v initrd.target | v initrd-cleanup.service isolates to initrd-switch-root.target | v ______________________/| / | | initrd-udevadm-cleanup-db.service | | (custom initrd services) | | | \______________________ | \| v initrd-switch-root.target | v initrd-switch-root.service | v switch-root
2013-03-13add initrd-fs.target and root-fs.targetHarald Hoyer
Instead of using local-fs*.target in the initrd, use root-fs.target for sysroot.mount and initrd-fs.target for /sysroot/usr and friends. Using local-fs.target would mean to carry over the activated local-fs.target to the isolated initrd-switch-root.target and thus in the real root. Having local-fs.target already active after deserialization causes ordering problems with the real root services and targets. We better isolate to targets for initrd-switch-root.target, which are only available in the initrd.

2013-01-16service: ignore dependencies on $syslog and $local_fs in LSB scriptsLennart Poettering
We no longer allow early-boot init scripts, however in late boot the syslog socket and local mounts are established anyway, so let's simplify our dep graph a bit. If $syslog doesn't resolve to syslog.target anymore there's no reason to keep syslog.target around anymore. Let's remove it. Note that many 3rd party service unit files order themselves after syslog.target. These will be dangling dependencies now, which should be unproblematic, however.

Systemd should not introduce any new facilities. Distributions which still need to support their non-standard/legacy facilities should add them as patches to their packaging. The following facilities are no longer recognized: $x-display-manager $mail-transfer-agent $mail-transport-agent $mail-transfer-agent $smtp $null This target is no longer available: mail-transfer-agent.target
