systemd.conf systemd Developer Lennart Poettering lennart@poettering.net systemd.conf 5 systemd.conf systemd manager configuration file system.conf user.conf Description When run as system instance systemd reads the configuration file system.conf, otherwise user.conf. These configuration files contain a few settings controlling basic manager operations. Options All options are configured in the [Manager] section: LogLevel= LogTarget= LogColor= LogLocation= DumpCore=yes CrashShell=no ShowStatus=yes SysVConsole=yes CrashChVT=1 Configures various parameters of basic manager operation. These options may be overridden by the respective command line arguments. See systemd1 for details about these command line arguments. CPUAffinity= Configures the initial CPU affinity for the init process. Takes a space-separated list of CPU indexes. MountAuto=yes SwapAuto=yes Configures whether systemd should automatically activate all swap or mounts listed in /etc/fstab, or whether this job is left to some other system script. DefaultControllers=cpu Configures in which cgroup controller hierarchies to create per-service cgroups automatically, in addition to the name=systemd named hierarchy. Defaults to 'cpu'. Takes a space separated list of controller names. Pass an empty string to ensure that systemd does not touch any hierarchies but its own. See Also systemd1
