2013-03-18man: udev - document 'builtin'Tom Gundersen
The new IMPORT{builtin} and RUN{builtin} were not documented. Also make it clear that RUN= is really an alias for RUN{program}=.

2013-03-15core: reuse the same /tmp, /var/tmp and inaccessible dirMichal Sekletar
All Execs within the service, will get mounted the same /tmp and /var/tmp directories, if service is configured with PrivateTmp=yes. Temporary directories are cleaned up by service itself in addition to systemd-tmpfiles. Directory which is mounted as inaccessible is created at runtime in /run/systemd.

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())'
2013-03-15sd-booted: update sd_booted() check a bitLennart Poettering
Previously we were testing whether /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/ was a mount point. This might be problematic however, when the cgroup trees are bind mounted into a container from the host (which should be absolutely valid), which might create the impression that the container was running systemd, but only the host actually is. Replace this by a check for the existance of the directory /run/systemd/system/, which should work unconditionally, since /run can never be a bind mount but *must* be a tmpfs on systemd systems, which is flushed at boots. This means that data in /run always reflects information about the current boot, and only of the local container, which makes it the perfect choice for a check like this. (As side effect this is nice to Ubuntu people who now use logind with the systemd cgroup hierarchy, where the old sd_booted() check misdetects systemd, even though they still run legacy Upstart.)
2013-03-15man: bootup - "Systemd in the Initrd" -> "Initrd System Manager Bootup"Kay Sievers
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
2013-03-13journalctl: show systemd messages about unit for -uZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
journalctl -u unit is not very useful, because it doesn't show systemd messages about starting, stopping, coredumps, etc, like systemctl status unit does. Make it show the same information using the same rules. If somebody really want to see just messages from by the unit, it is easy enough to use _SYSTEMD_UNIT=...
2013-03-13man: fix some typosThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
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.
2013-03-13man: 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.
2013-03-12man,html: say 'systemd 198' in the headerZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This should help readers of the man or HTML pages know if the documentation is out of date. An alternative to use a date generated from 'git log' was considered, but since we try to keep user visible documentation up to date, showing the project version should be enough.
2013-03-12man: strip the comments in man page headersZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
They contained the date, which creates a problem with multiarch packages, since the generated file would be different each time.
2013-03-07journalctl: imply -n1000 when -e is usedLennart Poettering
Make sure the pager does not have to buffer an unbounded number of log messages, by default.
2013-03-07man/*.html: link to directives, python, guvev, libudev in headersZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Since the HTML files are in different directories during build and on fd.o, links are broken in the build directory. This could be fixed by moving stuff around, or by modifying the files during upload, but I think that people do not usually create HTML files for local browsing, and this is not necessary.

2013-03-05journald: introduce new "systemd-journal" group and make it own the journal ↵Lennart Poettering
files Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this. "systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS. This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts. This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to additional users or groups via fs ACLs.

If coredump support is disabled via --disable-coredump, do not build and install the systemd-coredumpctl binary and man page.

The condition was wrong: HAVE_PAM -> ENABLE_LOGIND.
2013-03-03core/path: catch errors when adding watchesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Errors because of oom conditions or descriptor exhaustion should not be ignored. We probably cannot recover from those conditions. Current behaviour wrt. insufficient permissions is described in the man page. It might make sense in case of user sessions, so I left it as is.

2013-02-25Revert "nspawn: catch config mistake of specifying -b and args"Michal Schmidt
This reverts commit cb96a2c69a312fb089fef4501650f4fc40a1420b. It is not a mistake to pass args when -b is specified. They will simply be passed on to the container's init. The manpage needs fixing, that's true.

2013-02-22systemctl: make shutdown operations use irreversible jobsMichal Schmidt
Occasionally people report problem with reboot/poweroff operations hanging in the middle. One known cause is when a new transaction to start a unit is enqueued while the shutdown is going on. The start of the unit conflicts with the shutdown jobs, so they get cancelled. The failure case can be quite unpleasant, becase getty and sshd may already be stopped. Fix it by using irreversible jobs for shutdown (reboot/poweroff/...) actions. This applies to commands like "reboot", "telinit 6", "systemctl reboot". Should someone desire to use reversible jobs, they can say "systemctl start reboot.target".`
2013-02-22core, systemctl: add support for irreversible jobsMichal Schmidt
Add a new job mode: replace-irreversibly. Jobs enqueued using this mode cannot be implicitly canceled by later enqueued conflicting jobs. They can however still be canceled with an explicit "systemctl cancel" call.
2013-02-22systemctl: make "systemctl default" use "isolate" job modeMichal Schmidt
"systemctl default" should behave identically to "telinit N" (where N is the corresponding runlevel target number), therefore it should use isolate job mode too.
