    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Unit configuration files for services, sockets, mount
    points, and swap devices share a subset of configuration options
    which define the execution environment of spawned
    processes.</para>

    <para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
    these four unit types. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for the common options of all unit configuration files, and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.swap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
    and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for more information on the specific unit configuration files. The
    execution specific configuration options are configured in the
    [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap] sections, depending on the
    unit type.</para>

    <para>In addition, options which control resources through Linux Control Groups (cgroups) are listed in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    Those options complement options listed here.</para>

    <title>Automatic Dependencies</title>

    <para>A few execution parameters result in additional, automatic
    dependencies to be added.</para>

    <para>Units with <varname>WorkingDirectory=</varname> or
    <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> set automatically gain
    dependencies of type <varname>Requires=</varname> and
    <varname>After=</varname> on all mount units required to access
    the specified paths. This is equivalent to having them listed
    explicitly in <varname>RequiresMountsFor=</varname>.</para>

    <para>Similar, units with <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> enabled automatically get mount unit dependencies for all
    mounts required to access <filename>/tmp</filename> and <filename>/var/tmp</filename>. They will also gain an
    automatic <varname>After=</varname> dependency on
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

    <para>Units whose standard output or error output is connected to <option>journal</option>, <option>syslog</option>
    or <option>kmsg</option> (or their combinations with console output, see below) automatically acquire dependencies
    of type <varname>After=</varname> on <filename>systemd-journald.socket</filename>.</para>

    <variablelist class='unit-directives'>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>WorkingDirectory=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a directory path relative to the service's root directory specified by
        <varname>RootDirectory=</varname>, or the special value <literal>~</literal>. Sets the working directory for
        executed processes. If set to <literal>~</literal>, the home directory of the user specified in
        <varname>User=</varname> is used. If not set, defaults to the root directory when systemd is running as a
        system instance and the respective user's home directory if run as user. If the setting is prefixed with the
        <literal>-</literal> character, a missing working directory is not considered fatal. If
        <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> is not set, then <varname>WorkingDirectory=</varname> is relative to the root
        of the system running the service manager.  Note that setting this parameter might result in additional
        dependencies to be added to the unit (see above).</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>RootDirectory=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a directory path relative to the host's root directory (i.e. the root of the system
        running the service manager). Sets the root directory for executed processes, with the <citerefentry
        project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> system
        call. If this is used, it must be ensured that the process binary and all its auxiliary files are available in
        the <function>chroot()</function> jail. Note that setting this parameter might result in additional
        dependencies to be added to the unit (see above).</para>

        <para>The <varname>PrivateUsers=</varname> setting is particularly useful in conjunction with
        <varname>RootDirectory=</varname>. For details, see below.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>User=</varname></term>
        <term><varname>Group=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Set the UNIX user or group that the processes are executed as, respectively. Takes a single
        user or group name, or numeric ID as argument. For system services (services run by the system service manager,
        i.e. managed by PID 1) and for user services of the root user (services managed by root's instance of
        <command>systemd --user</command>), the default is <literal>root</literal>, but <varname>User=</varname> may be
        used to specify a different user. For user services of any other user, switching user identity is not
        permitted, hence the only valid setting is the same user the user's service manager is running as. If no group
        is set, the default group of the user is used. This setting does not affect commands whose command line is
        prefixed with <literal>+</literal>.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>DynamicUser=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a boolean parameter. If set, a UNIX user and group pair is allocated dynamically when the
        unit is started, and released as soon as it is stopped. The user and group will not be added to
        <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or <filename>/etc/group</filename>, but are managed transiently during
        runtime. The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        glibc NSS module provides integration of these dynamic users/groups into the system's user and group
        databases. The user and group name to use may be configured via <varname>User=</varname> and
        <varname>Group=</varname> (see above). If these options are not used and dynamic user/group allocation is
        enabled for a unit, the name of the dynamic user/group is implicitly derived from the unit name. If the unit
        name without the type suffix qualifies as valid user name it is used directly, otherwise a name incorporating a
        hash of it is used. If a statically allocated user or group of the configured name already exists, it is used
        and no dynamic user/group is allocated. Dynamic users/groups are allocated from the UID/GID range
        61184…65519. It is recommended to avoid this range for regular system or login users.  At any point in time
        each UID/GID from this range is only assigned to zero or one dynamically allocated users/groups in
        use. However, UID/GIDs are recycled after a unit is terminated. Care should be taken that any processes running
        as part of a unit for which dynamic users/groups are enabled do not leave files or directories owned by these
        users/groups around, as a different unit might get the same UID/GID assigned later on, and thus gain access to
        these files or directories. If <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is enabled, <varname>RemoveIPC=</varname>,
        <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> are implied. This ensures that the lifetime of IPC objects and temporary files
        created by the executed processes is bound to the runtime of the service, and hence the lifetime of the dynamic
        user/group. Since <filename>/tmp</filename> and <filename>/var/tmp</filename> are usually the only
        world-writable directories on a system this ensures that a unit making use of dynamic user/group allocation
        cannot leave files around after unit termination. Moreover <varname>ProtectSystem=strict</varname> and
        <varname>ProtectHome=read-only</varname> are implied, thus prohibiting the service to write to arbitrary file
        system locations. In order to allow the service to write to certain directories, they have to be whitelisted
        using <varname>ReadWritePaths=</varname>, but care must be taken so that UID/GID recycling doesn't
        create security issues involving files created by the service. Use <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> (see
        below) in order to assign a writable runtime directory to a service, owned by the dynamic user/group and
        removed automatically when the unit is terminated. Defaults to off.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>SupplementaryGroups=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Sets the supplementary Unix groups the
        processes are executed as. This takes a space-separated list
        of group names or IDs. This option may be specified more than
        once, in which case all listed groups are set as supplementary
        groups. When the empty string is assigned, the list of
        supplementary groups is reset, and all assignments prior to
        this one will have no effect. In any way, this option does not
        override, but extends the list of supplementary groups
        configured in the system group database for the
        user. This does not affect commands prefixed with <literal>+</literal>.</para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>RemoveIPC=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a boolean parameter. If set, all System V and POSIX IPC objects owned by the user and
        group the processes of this unit are run as are removed when the unit is stopped. This setting only has an
        effect if at least one of <varname>User=</varname>, <varname>Group=</varname> and
        <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> are used. It has no effect on IPC objects owned by the root user. Specifically,
        this removes System V semaphores, as well as System V and POSIX shared memory segments and message queues. If
        multiple units use the same user or group the IPC objects are removed when the last of these units is
        stopped. This setting is implied if <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is set.</para></listitem>

        <term><varname>Nice=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Sets the default nice level (scheduling

        <term><varname>OOMScoreAdjust=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Sets the adjustment level for the
        Out-Of-Memory killer for executed processes. Takes an integer
        between -1000 (to disable OOM killing for this process) and
        1000 (to make killing of this process under memory pressure
        very likely). See <ulink

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Environment=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Sets environment variables for executed

        assignments. This option may be specified more than once, in
        which case all listed variables will be set. If the same
        variable is set twice, the later setting will override the

        file should contain new-line-separated variable assignments.
        Empty lines, lines without an <literal>=</literal> separator,
        or lines starting with ; or # will be ignored,
        which may be used for commenting. A line ending with a
        backslash will be concatenated with the following one,
        allowing multiline variable definitions. The parser strips
        leading and trailing whitespace from the values of
        assignments, unless you use double quotes (").</para>

        <para>The argument passed should be an absolute filename or
        wildcard expression, optionally prefixed with
        <literal>-</literal>, which indicates that if the file does
        not exist, it will not be read and no error or warning message
        is logged. This option may be specified more than once in
        which case all specified files are read. If the empty string
        is assigned to this option, the list of file to read is reset,
        all prior assignments have no effect.</para>

        <para>The files listed with this directive will be read
        shortly before the process is executed (more specifically,
        after all processes from a previous unit state terminated.

        <para>The <option>fd</option> option connects
        the input stream to a single file descriptor provided by a socket unit.
        A custom named file descriptor can be specified as part of this option,
        after a <literal>:</literal> (e.g. <literal>fd:<replaceable>foobar</replaceable></literal>).
        If no name is specified, <literal>stdin</literal> is assumed
        (i.e. <literal>fd</literal> is equivalent to <literal>fd:stdin</literal>).
        At least one socket unit defining such name must be explicitly provided via the
        <varname>Sockets=</varname> option, and file descriptor name may differ
        from the name of its containing socket unit.
        If multiple matches are found, the first one will be used.

        will be lost.</para>

        <para><option>tty</option> connects standard output to a tty
        (as configured via <varname>TTYPath=</varname>, see below). If
        the TTY is used for output only, the executed process will not

        system syslog service, in addition to the journal. Note that
        the journal daemon is usually configured to forward everything
        it receives to syslog anyway, in which case this option is no
        different from <option>journal</option>.</para>

        <para><option>kmsg</option> connects standard output with the
        kernel log buffer which is accessible via

        <para>The <option>fd</option> option connects
        the output stream to a single file descriptor provided by a socket unit.
        A custom named file descriptor can be specified as part of this option,
        after a <literal>:</literal> (e.g. <literal>fd:<replaceable>foobar</replaceable></literal>).
        If no name is specified, <literal>stdout</literal> is assumed
        (i.e. <literal>fd</literal> is equivalent to <literal>fd:stdout</literal>).
        At least one socket unit defining such name must be explicitly provided via the
        <varname>Sockets=</varname> option, and file descriptor name may differ

        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>setrlimit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on
        the resource limit concept. Resource limits may be specified in two formats: either as single value to set a
        specific soft and hard limit to the same value, or as colon-separated pair <option>soft:hard</option> to set
        both limits individually (e.g. <literal>LimitAS=4G:16G</literal>).  Use the string <varname>infinity</varname>
        to configure no limit on a specific resource. The multiplicative suffixes K, M, G, T, P and E (to the base
        1024) may be used for resource limits measured in bytes (e.g. LimitAS=16G). For the limits referring to time
        values, the usual time units ms, s, min, h and so on may be used (see
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
        details). Note that if no time unit is specified for <varname>LimitCPU=</varname> the default unit of seconds
        is implied, while for <varname>LimitRTTIME=</varname> the default unit of microseconds is implied. Also, note
        that the effective granularity of the limits might influence their enforcement. For example, time limits
        specified for <varname>LimitCPU=</varname> will be rounded up implicitly to multiples of 1s. For
        <varname>LimitNICE=</varname> the value may be specified in two syntaxes: if prefixed with <literal>+</literal>
        or <literal>-</literal>, the value is understood as regular Linux nice value in the range -20..19. If not
        prefixed like this the value is understood as raw resource limit parameter in the range 0..40 (with 0 being
        equivalent to 1).</para>

        <para>Note that most process resource limits configured with
        these options are per-process, and processes may fork in order
        to acquire a new set of resources that are accounted
        independently of the original process, and may thus escape
        limits set. Also note that <varname>LimitRSS=</varname> is not
        implemented on Linux, and setting it has no effect. Often it
        is advisable to prefer the resource controls listed in
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        over these per-process limits, as they apply to services as a
        whole, may be altered dynamically at runtime, and are
        generally more expressive. For example,
        <varname>MemoryLimit=</varname> is a more powerful (and
        working) replacement for <varname>LimitRSS=</varname>.</para>

        <para>For system units these resource limits may be chosen freely. For user units however (i.e. units run by a
        per-user instance of
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>), these limits are
        bound by (possibly more restrictive) per-user limits enforced by the OS.</para>

        <para>Resource limits not configured explicitly for a unit default to the value configured in the various
        <varname>DefaultLimitCPU=</varname>, <varname>DefaultLimitFSIZE=</varname>, … options available in

        <listitem><para>Takes a mount propagation flag: <option>shared</option>, <option>slave</option> or
        <option>private</option>, which control whether mounts in the file system namespace set up for this unit's

        details. Defaults to <option>shared</option>. Use <option>shared</option> to ensure that mounts and unmounts
        are propagated from systemd's namespace to the service's namespace and vice versa. Use <option>slave</option>
        to run processes so that none of their mounts and unmounts will propagate to the host. Use <option>private</option>
        to also ensure that no mounts and unmounts from the host will propagate into the unit processes' namespace.
        If this is set to <option>slave</option> or <option>private</option>, any mounts created by spawned processes
        will be unmounted after the completion of the current command line of <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>,

        <option>slave</option> means that file systems mounted on the host might stay mounted continuously in the
        unit's namespace, and thus keep the device busy. Note that the file system namespace related options
        (<varname>PrivateTmp=</varname>, <varname>PrivateDevices=</varname>, <varname>ProtectSystem=</varname>,

        <varname>ProtectControlGroups=</varname>, <varname>ReadOnlyPaths=</varname>,
        <varname>InaccessiblePaths=</varname>, <varname>ReadWritePaths=</varname>) require that mount and unmount
        propagation from the unit's file system namespace is disabled, and hence downgrade <option>shared</option> to
        <option>slave</option>. </para></listitem>

        <term><varname>SystemCallFilter=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a space-separated list of system call names. If this setting is used, all system calls
        executed by the unit processes except for the listed ones will result in immediate process termination with the
        <constant>SIGSYS</constant> signal (whitelisting). If the first character of the list is <literal>~</literal>,
        the effect is inverted: only the listed system calls will result in immediate process termination
        (blacklisting). If running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the <constant>CAP_SYS_ADMIN</constant>
        capability (e.g. setting <varname>User=nobody</varname>), <varname>NoNewPrivileges=yes</varname> is
        implied. This feature makes use of the Secure Computing Mode 2 interfaces of the kernel ('seccomp filtering')
        and is useful for enforcing a minimal sandboxing environment. Note that the <function>execve</function>,
        <function>exit</function>, <function>exit_group</function>, <function>getrlimit</function>,
        <function>rt_sigreturn</function>, <function>sigreturn</function> system calls and the system calls for
        querying time and sleeping are implicitly whitelisted and do not need to be listed explicitly. This option may
        be specified more than once, in which case the filter masks are merged. If the empty string is assigned, the
        filter is reset, all prior assignments will have no effect. This does not affect commands prefixed with
        <literal>+</literal>.</para>

        <para>Note that strict system call filters may impact execution and error handling code paths of the service
        invocation. Specifically, access to the <function>execve</function> system call is required for the execution
        of the service binary — if it is blocked service invocation will necessarily fail. Also, if execution of the
        service binary fails for some reason (for example: missing service executable), the error handling logic might
        require access to an additional set of system calls in order to process and log this failure correctly. It
        might be necessary to temporarily disable system call filters in order to simplify debugging of such
        failures.</para>

        <para>If you specify both types of this option (i.e.
        whitelisting and blacklisting), the first encountered will
        take precedence and will dictate the default action
        (termination or approval of a system call). Then the next
        occurrences of this option will add or delete the listed
        system calls from the set of the filtered system calls,
        depending of its type and the default action. (For example, if
        you have started with a whitelisting of
        <function>read</function> and <function>write</function>, and
        right after it add a blacklisting of
        <function>write</function>, then <function>write</function>
        will be removed from the set.)</para>

        <para>As the number of possible system
        calls is large, predefined sets of system calls are provided.

        <constant>native</constant>. Only system calls of the specified architectures will
        be permitted to processes of this unit. This is an effective way to disable
        compatibility with non-native architectures for processes, for example to prohibit
        execution of 32-bit x86 binaries on 64-bit x86-64 systems. The special
        <constant>native</constant> identifier implicitly maps to the native architecture
        of the system (or more strictly: to the architecture the system manager is
        compiled for). If running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the
        <constant>CAP_SYS_ADMIN</constant> capability (e.g. setting
        <varname>User=nobody</varname>), <varname>NoNewPrivileges=yes</varname> is

        <constant>native</constant> is included too. By default, this option is set to the
        empty list, i.e. no architecture system call filtering is applied.

    <para>Additional variables may be configured by the following
    means: for processes spawned in specific units, use the
    <varname>Environment=</varname>, <varname>EnvironmentFile=</varname>
    and <varname>PassEnvironment=</varname> options above; to specify
    variables globally, use <varname>DefaultEnvironment=</varname>
    (see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
