<literal>isolate</literal> job mode.</para>
|

<para>If <literal>fail</literal> is specified and a requested

operation conflicts with a pending job (more specifically:

causes an already pending start job to be reversed into a stop

job or vice versa), cause the operation to fail.</para>
|

<para>If <literal>replace</literal> (the default) is

specified, any conflicting pending job will be replaced, as

necessary.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If <literal>replace-irreversibly</literal> is specified,
|

operate like <literal>replace</literal>, but also mark the new

jobs as irreversible. This prevents future conflicting

transactions from replacing these jobs (or even being enqueued

jobs can still be cancelled using the <command>cancel</command>
|

command.</para>
|

<para><literal>isolate</literal> is only valid for start

operations and causes all other units to be stopped when the

specified unit is started. This mode is always used when the

<command>isolate</command> command is used.</para>
|

|

<para><literal>flush</literal> will cause all queued jobs to
|

be canceled when the new job is enqueued.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal> is specified,
|
||
then all unit dependencies are ignored for this new job and
|
||
the operation is executed immediately. If passed, no required
|
||
units of the unit passed will be pulled in, and no ordering
|
||
dependencies will be honored. This is mostly a debugging and
|
||
rescue tool for the administrator and should not be used by
|
||
applications.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><literal>ignore-requirements</literal> is similar to
|

<literal>ignore-dependencies</literal>, but only causes the
|
||
requirement dependencies to be ignored, the ordering

dependencies will still be honored.</para>

<para>When used with <command>kill</command>, choose which

processes to send a signal to. Must be one of
|
||
<option>main</option>, <option>control</option> or
|
||
<option>all</option> to select whether to kill only the main
|
||
process, the control process or all processes of the
|
||
unit. The main process of the unit is the one that defines
|
||
the life-time of it. A control process of a unit is one that
|
||
is invoked by the manager to induce state changes of it. For
|
||
example, all processes started due to the
|
||
<varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ExecStop=</varname> or
|
||
<varname>ExecReload=</varname> settings of service units are
|
||
control processes. Note that there is only one control
|
||
process per unit at a time, as only one state change is
|
||
executed at a time. For services of type
|
||
<varname>Type=forking</varname>, the initial process started
|
||
by the manager for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is a
|
||
control process, while the process ultimately forked off by
|
||
that one is then considered the main process of the unit (if
|
||
it can be determined). This is different for service units
|
||
of other types, where the process forked off by the manager
|
||
for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is always the main process
|
||
itself. A service unit consists of zero or one main process,
|
||
zero or one control process plus any number of additional
|
||
processes. Not all unit types manage processes of these
|
||
types however. For example, for mount units, control processes
|
||
are defined (which are the invocations of
|
||
<filename>&MOUNT_PATH;</filename> and
|
||
<filename>&UMOUNT_PATH;</filename>), but no main process
|
||
is defined. If omitted, defaults to
|

<option>all</option>.</para>

<para>Show properties of one or more units, jobs, or the manager itself. If no argument is specified,
|

properties of the manager will be shown. If a unit name is specified, properties of the unit are shown, and
|
||
if a job ID is specified, properties of the job are shown. By default, empty properties are suppressed. Use
|
||
<option>--all</option> to show those too. To select specific properties to show, use

<option>--property=</option>. This command is intended to be used whenever computer-parsable output is
|

required. Use <command>status</command> if you are looking for formatted human-readable output.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Many properties shown by <command>systemctl show</command> map directly to configuration settings of
|
||
the system and service manager and its unit files. Note that the properties shown by the command are
|
||
generally more low-level, normalized versions of the original configuration settings and expose runtime
|
||
state in addition to configuration. For example, properties shown for service units include the service's
|
||
current main process identifier as <literal>MainPID</literal> (which is runtime state), and time settings
|
||
are always exposed as properties ending in the <literal>…USec</literal> suffix even if a matching
|
||
configuration options end in <literal>…Sec</literal>, because microseconds is the normalized time unit used
|
||
by the system and service manager.</para>

<para>Set the specified unit properties at runtime where

many resource control settings (primarily those in

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|

may. The changes are applied instantly, and stored on disk
|

for future boots, unless <option>--runtime</option> is

<listitem>
|
||
<para>Enable one or more units or unit instances. This will create a set of symlinks, as encoded in the
|
||
<literal>[Install]</literal> sections of the indicated unit files. After the symlinks have been created,
|
||
the system manager configuration is reloaded (in a way equivalent to <command>daemon-reload</command>), in
|
||
order to ensure the changes are taken into account immediately. Note that this does
|
||
<emphasis>not</emphasis> have the effect of also starting any of the units being enabled. If this is
|
||
desired, combine this command with the <option>--now</option> switch, or invoke <command>start</command>
|
||
with appropriate arguments later. Note that in case of unit instance enablement (i.e. enablement of units of
|
||
the form <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>), symlinks named the same as instances are created in the
|
||
unit configuration directory, however they point to the single template unit file they are instantiated
|
||
from.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This command expects either valid unit names (in which case various unit file directories are
|
||
automatically searched for unit files with appropriate names), or absolute paths to unit files (in which
|
||
case these files are read directly). If a specified unit file is located outside of the usual unit file
|
||
directories, an additional symlink is created, linking it into the unit configuration path, thus ensuring
|
||
it is found when requested by commands such as <command>start</command>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This command will print the file system operations executed. This output may be suppressed by passing
|
||
<option>--quiet</option>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that this operation creates only the symlinks suggested in the <literal>[Install]</literal>
|
||
section of the unit files. While this command is the recommended way to manipulate the unit configuration
|
||
directory, the administrator is free to make additional changes manually by placing or removing symlinks
|
||
below this directory. This is particularly useful to create configurations that deviate from the suggested
|
||
default installation. In this case, the administrator must make sure to invoke
|
||
<command>daemon-reload</command> manually as necessary, in order to ensure the changes are taken into
|
||
account.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Enabling units should not be confused with starting (activating) units, as done by the
|
||
<command>start</command> command. Enabling and starting units is orthogonal: units may be enabled without
|
||
being started and started without being enabled. Enabling simply hooks the unit into various suggested
|
||
places (for example, so that the unit is automatically started on boot or when a particular kind of
|
||
hardware is plugged in). Starting actually spawns the daemon process (in case of service units), or binds
|
||
the socket (in case of socket units), and so on.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Depending on whether <option>--system</option>, <option>--user</option>, <option>--runtime</option>,
|
||
or <option>--global</option> is specified, this enables the unit for the system, for the calling user only,
|
||
for only this boot of the system, or for all future logins of all users, or only this boot. Note that in
|
||
the last case, no systemd daemon configuration is reloaded.</para>

process (a.k.a. "init" process) to the main system manager process which is loaded from the actual host

string, a systemd binary will automatically be searched for and used as init. If the system manager path is

omitted, equal to the empty string or identical to the path to the systemd binary, the state of the

initrd's system manager process is passed to the main system manager, which allows later introspection of

<title>Parameter Syntax</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name (designated as <replaceable>NAME</replaceable>),
|
||
or multiple unit specifications (designated as <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>…). In the first case, the
|
||
unit name with or without a suffix must be given. If the suffix is not specified (unit name is "abbreviated"),
|
||
systemctl will append a suitable suffix, <literal>.service</literal> by default, and a type-specific suffix in
|
||
case of commands which operate only on specific unit types. For example,
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl start sshd</programlisting> and
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl start sshd.service</programlisting>
|
||
are equivalent, as are
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl isolate default</programlisting>
|
||
and
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl isolate default.target</programlisting>
|
||
Note that (absolute) paths to device nodes are automatically converted to device unit names, and other (absolute)
|
||
paths to mount unit names.
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl status /dev/sda
|
||
# systemctl status /home</programlisting>
|
||
are equivalent to:
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl status dev-sda.device
|
||
# systemctl status home.mount</programlisting>
|
||
In the second case, shell-style globs will be matched against the primary names of all units currently in memory;
|
||
literal unit names, with or without a suffix, will be treated as in the first case. This means that literal unit
|
||
names always refer to exactly one unit, but globs may match zero units and this is not considered an
|
||
error.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Glob patterns use
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fnmatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
so normal shell-style globbing rules are used, and
|
||
<literal>*</literal>, <literal>?</literal>,
|
||
<literal>[]</literal> may be used. See
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>glob</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for more details. The patterns are matched against the primary names of
|
||
units currently in memory, and patterns which do not match anything
|
||
are silently skipped. For example:
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl stop sshd@*.service</programlisting>
|
||
will stop all <filename>sshd@.service</filename> instances. Note that alias names of units, and units that aren't
|
||
in memory are not considered for glob expansion.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For unit file commands, the specified <replaceable>NAME</replaceable> should be the name of the unit file
|
||
(possibly abbreviated, see above), or the absolute path to the unit file:
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl enable foo.service</programlisting>
|
||
or
