This is useful to implement offline updates of <filename>/usr</filename> which might requires updates to <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>/var</filename> on the following boot.</para> <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> updates the file modification time (mtime) of the stamp files <filename>/etc/.updated</filename> and <filename>/var/.updated</filename> to the modification time of the <filename>/usr</filename> directory, unless the stamp files are already newer.</para> <para>Services that shall run after offline upgrades of <filename>/usr</filename> should order themselves before <filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>, and use the <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) condition to make sure to run when <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>/var</filename> are older than <filename>/usr</filename> according to the modification times of the files described above. This requires that updates to <filename>/usr</filename> are always followed by an update of the modification time of <filename>/usr</filename>, for example by invoking <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>touch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> on it.</para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>See Also</title> <para> <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>touch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> </para> </refsect1> </refentry>
