systemd System and Service Manager
CHANGES WITH 213:
* A new "systemd-timesyncd" daemon has been added for
snchronizing the system clock across the network. It
implements an SNTP client. In contrast to NTP
implementations such as chrony or the NTP reference server
this only implements a client side, and does not bother with
the full NTP complexity, focussing only on querying time
from one remote server and synchronizing the local clock to
it. Unless you intend to serve NTP to networked clients or
want to connect to local hardware clocks this simple NTP
client should be more than appropriate for most
installations. The daemon runs with minimal privileges, and
has been hooked up with networkd to only operate when
network connectivity is available. The daemon saves the
current clock to disk every time a new NTP sync has been
acquired, and uses this to possibly correct the system clock
early at bootup, in order to accomodate for systems that
lack an RTC such as the Raspberry Pi and embedded devices,
and make sure that time monotonically progresses on these
systems, even if it is not always correct.
* The "seqnum" interface of libudev has been disabled, as it
was generally incompatible with device namspacing as
sequence numbers of devices go "missing" if the devices are
part of a different namespace.
* "systemctl list-timers" and "systemctl list-sockets" gained
a --recursive switch for showing units of these types also
for all local containers, similar in style to the
--recursive switch "systemctl list-units" already supports.
* A new RebootArgument= setting has been added for service
units, which may be used to specify a kernel reboot argument
for usage when triggering reboots with StartLimitAction=.
* A new FailureAction= setting has been added for service
units which may be used to specify an operation to trigger
when a service fails. This works similar to
StartLimitAction=, but unlike it controls what is done
immediately rather than only after several attempts to
restart the service in question.
* hostnamed got updated to also expose the kernel name,
release and version on the bus. This is useful for executing
commands like hostnamectl with the -H switch.
* The bootchart tool can now show cgroup information in the
graphs it generates.
* The CFS CPU quota cgroup attribute is now exposed for
services. The new CPUQuota= switch has been added for this
which takes a percentage value. Setting this will have the
result that a service may never get more CPU time than the
specified percentage, even if the machine is otherwise idle.
* systemd-networkd learned IPIP and SIT tunnel support.
* LSB init scripts exposing a dependency on $network will now
get a dependency on network-online.target rather than simply
network.target. This should bring LSB handling closer to
what it was on SysV systems.
* A new fsck.repair= kernel option has been added to control
how fsck shall deal with unclean file systems at boot.
* The (.ini) configuration file parser will now silently
ignore sections whose name begins with "X-". This may be
used to maintain application-specific extension sections in unit
files.
* machined gained a new API to query the IP addresses of
registered containers. "machinectl status" has been updated
to show these addresses in its output.
* A new call sd_uid_get_display() has been added to the
sd-login APIs for querying the "primary" session of a
user. The "primary" session of the user is elected from the
user's sessions and generally a graphical session is
preferred over a text one.
* A minimal systemd-resolved daemon has been added. It
currently simply acts as a companion to systemd-networkd and
manages resolv.conf based on per-interface DNS
configuration, possibly supplied via DHCP. In the long run
we hope to extend this into a local DNSSEC enabled DNS and
mDNS cache.
* Two new service options StartupCPUShares= and
StartupBlockIOWeight= have been added that work similar to
CPUShares= and BlockIOWeight= however only apply during
system startup. This is useful to priorize certain services
differently during bootup than during normal runtime.
