2017-02-22man: update descriptions of argument-less kernel cmdline argsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This updates the man page for the changes introduced in 1d84ad944520fc3e062ef518c4db4e1d3a1866af. "=" is kep if the option is predominantly used with an argument, and dropped otherwise. v2: - update also description of log_color - drop '=' in all cases where it is optional (previous rule of dropping it only in some cases was just too arbitrary.)
2017-02-22man: describe the cgroup hierarchy kernel commandline optionsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek

2016-12-11man: use unicode ellipsis in more placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
As requested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557. docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer. In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other places.
2016-11-17core: allow to redirect confirmation messages to a different consoleFranck Bui
It's rather hard to parse the confirmation messages (enabled with systemd.confirm_spawn=true) amongst the status messages and the kernel ones (if enabled). This patch gives the possibility to the user to redirect the confirmation message to a different virtual console, either by giving its name or its path, so those messages are separated from the other ones and easier to read.
2016-10-10man: update unit type count (#4339)Lucas Werkmeister
It seems that this count was not updated when snapshot units were removed in #1841.
2016-08-19terminal-util: use getenv_bool for $SYSTEMD_COLORSZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This changes the semantics a bit: before, SYSTEMD_COLORS= would be treated as "yes", same as SYSTEMD_COLORS=xxx and SYSTEMD_COLORS=1, and only SYSTEMD_COLORS=0 would be treated as "no". Now, only valid booleans are treated as "yes". This actually matches how $SYSTEMD_COLORS was announced in NEWS.
2016-06-13core: parse `rd.rescue` and `rd.emergency` as initrd-specific shorthands (#3488)Ivan Shapovalov
Typing `rd.rescue` is easier than `rd.systemd.unit=rescue.target`.
2016-01-20basic/terminal-util: introduce SYSTEMD_COLORS environment variableJan Synacek
... to determine if color output should be enabled. If the variable is not set, fall back to using on_tty(). Also, rewrite existing code to use colors_enabled() where appropriate.

2016-01-12core: Add machine-id settingNils Carlson
Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or --machine-id= option. This is especially useful for network booted systems where the machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific machine-id is wanted.
2015-11-10Remove snapshot unit typeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/034872.html

2015-10-07core: change how crash_shell and crash_reboot interactMichal Schmidt
Instead of freezing in PID1 and letting the forked child freeze or reboot when exec("/bin/sh") fails, just wait for the child's exit and then do the freeze_or_reboot in PID1 as usual. This means that when both crash_shell and crash_reboot are enabled, the system will reboot after the shell exits.
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.
2015-09-29core: rework crash handlingLennart Poettering
This introduces a new systemd.crash_reboot=1 kernel command line option that triggers a reboot after crashing. This also cleans up crash VT handling. Specifically, it cleans up the configuration setting, to be between 1..63 or a boolean. This is to replace the previous logic where "-1" meant disabled. We continue to accept that setting, but only document the boolean syntax instead. This also brings the documentation of the default settings in sync with what actually happens. The CrashChVT= configuration file setting is renamed to CrashChangeVT=, following our usual logic of not abbreviating unnecessarily. The old setting stays support for compat reasons. Fixes #1300

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.

Not that all functionality has been ported over to logind, the old implementation can be removed. There goes one of the oldest parts of the systemd code base.

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?

2014-01-27manager: add systemd.show_status=auto modeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
When set to auto, status will shown when the first ephemeral message is shown (a job has been running for five seconds). Then until the boot or shutdown ends, status messages will be shown. No indication about the switch is done: I think it should be clear for the user that first the cylon eye and the ephemeral messages appear, and afterwards messages are displayed. The initial arming of the event source was still wrong, but now should really be fixed.

2013-07-26rework systemd's own process environment handling/passingKay Sievers
Stop importing non-sensical kernel-exported variables. All parameters in the kernel command line are exported to the initial environment of PID1, but suppressed if they are recognized by kernel built-in code. The EFI booted kernel will add further kernel-internal things which do not belong into userspace. The passed original environ data of the process is not touched and preserved across re-execution, to allow external reading of /proc/self/environ for process properties like container*=.
