2013-02-24nspawn: catch config mistake of specifying -b and argsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.

2013-02-17man: Add reason for disk model info not workingWilliam Giokas
In systemd-bootchart, the disk model information will not be found unless the root device is specified using `root=/dev/sdxY` on the kernel line. Just add a note as to why this doesn't happen.
2013-02-16systemctl: allow comma sepearted property listsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-02-16man: prettify systemctl(1)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
- reindent with two spaces, otherwise everything is squeezed near the right margin, - mark only optional arguments as optional, - some typos, etc.
2013-02-16bootchart: rename --filter to --no-filterZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Turning off filtering with --filter is just too confusing. Config option "Filter" doesn't have to be changed, here "Filter=yes" already meant to filter.
2013-02-16man: move bootchart README to manpage, docbooksifyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-02-16systemctl: allow status with no unitsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This makes 'status' behave like 'list-units': systemctl status -> status of all units systemctl -t error status -> status of error units systemctl -t mount status -> etc.
2013-02-14man: Update bootchart.conf(5)William Giokas
Recent changes in config options makes almost eveny variable in the man page obsolete.
2013-02-14man: Add even more to the bootchart man pageWilliam Giokas
Essentially transfer the 'README' file in src/bootchart to the man page for easier reading by users. Moved the 'History' section to the bottom, before the 'See Also' section. man/systemd-bootchart.xml | 100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 83 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-)
2013-02-14nspawn: print PID and show how to enter the namespaceZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
systemd-nspawn will now print the PID of the child. An example showing how to enter the container is added to the man page. Support for nsenter without an explicit command was added in https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/5758069 (post v2.22.2). So this example requires both a new kernel and the latest util-linux.
2013-02-13man: use <replaceable> in various placesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-02-13man: bootchart: change /var/log to /run/logWilliam Giokas
As of [1], bootchart stores files in /run/log, not /var/log, by default. [1] f2f85884caac671da84256acb44148df9a4dca70
2013-02-13Move systemctl dot to systemd-analyze dotSimon Peeters
2013-02-13man: rename systemd.conf to systemd-system.confZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Alias as systemd-user.conf is also provided. This should help users running systemd in session mode. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690868
2013-02-13man: Make options consistentWilliam Giokas
Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt, long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long opt, for formatting's sake.
2013-02-13man: Write man page for systemd-bootchart(1)William Giokas

2013-02-11binfmt,tmpfiles,modules-load,sysctl: rework the various early-boot services ↵Lennart Poettering
that work on .d/ directories This unifies much of the logic behind them: - All four will now ofllow the rule that the earlier file and earlier assignment in the .d/ directories wins. Before, sysctl was the only outlier, where the later setting always won. - All four now support getopt() and --help on the command line. - All four can now handle specification of configuration file names on the command line to apply. The tools will automatically find them, and apply them. Previously only tmpfiles could do that. This is useful for %post scripts in RPMs and suchlike. - This fixes various error path issues in conf_files_list()

2013-02-07man: document COREDUMP_UNIT and COREDUMP_USER_UNITZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Also fix formatting for kernel related fields, enabling them to show up in the directives index.
2013-02-07man: describe unit load path in systemd.unit(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
In other cases where multiple directories are searched for unit files, the list of directories is described in the man page describing the format. I think this makes sense too in case of systemd directories, since the systemd(1) manpage already has an overview of many different topics.
2013-02-06build-sys: substitute strings in systemd.unit(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Makefile.am is updated to deal with .xml.in sources. Nothing in the output is really changed yet, this is just preparation.
2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.
2013-02-06man: see also dracut(7) in bootup(7)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-02-04man: remove boot up runlevel supportUmut Tezduyar
As of 3cdebc217c42c8529086f2965319b6a48eaaeabe support for distro specific boot up runlevels has been dropped.
2013-01-31cryptsetup: accept both "read-only" and "readonly" spellingsMichal Schmidt
Mukund Sivaraman pointed out that cryptsetup(5) mentions the "read-only" option, while the code understands "readonly". We could just fix the manpage, but for consistency in naming of multi-word options it would be prettier to have "read-only". So let's accept both spellings.

2013-01-29install: allow specifiers in WantedBy/RequiredBy/AliasZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This allows one templated unit to refer to another templated unit at installation time. Examples: > grep WantedBy ~/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer WantedBy=services@%i.target > srv disable mpop@iit.timer rm '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer' > srv enable mpop@iit.timer ln -s '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer' '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer' Based-on-patch-by: Oleksii Shevchuk <alxchk@gmail.com>

2013-01-27man: add Arch Linux entry to systemd-nspawn(5)William Giokas
Archlinux has a similar tool to debbotstrap in the arch-install-scripts package that will install to a specified directory. This is generally used for installation, so the -d flag must be passed to tell it to install to a non-mountpoint directory.
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.
2013-01-26man: docbook consitency fixesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Use proper (or at least more proper) docbook tags for various fields. This should help with automatic parsing of the documentation.
2013-01-26man: mention that PrivateTmp means /var/tmp tooZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-01-25tmpfiles: introduce type XMichal Sekletar
Type X will exclude path itself from clean-up. However, if the path is a directory systemd-tmpfiles will clean-up its content. In contrast to type x, where path is ignored completely, type X needs some Age parameter. In order to determine Age parameter, we will look for config entries of type d or D and pick the best match. Best match is either exact match or longest prefix match.
2013-01-24man: mention /proc/self/mountinfo in systemd.mount(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-01-24man: systemd.exec - explicit Environment assignmentFrederic Crozat
Hi all, while working on another bug, I discovered the "strange" way systemd is parsing Environment= in .service and thought it was worth documenting (because I don't expect people to find this syntax by themselves unless they read the parsing code ;) Be more verbose about using space in Environment field and not using value of other variables Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840260 [zj: expand and reformat the example a bit]

2013-01-23man: clearify the meaning of timeout=0 for password agentsTom Gundersen
The fact that timeout=0 makes password agents wait indefinitely is documented in http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents. Document it also in the relevant man pages.

2013-01-18nspawn: add audit caps to default set to keepLennart Poettering
Due to the brokeness of much of the userspace audit code we cannot really start too many systems without the audit caps set. To make nspawn easier to use just add the audit caps by default. To boot up containers successfully the kernel's auditing needs to be turned off still (use "audit=0" on the kernel command line), but at least no manual caps have to be passed anymore. In the long run auditing will be fixed for containers and ve virtualized properly at which time it should be safe to enable these caps anyway.
