<title > Description</title>
<para > A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal > .scope</literal> encodes information about a unit created
2013-07-13 12:51:35 +04:00
by systemd to encapsulate processes not launched by systemd
2013-07-10 09:25:02 +04:00
itself. This management is performed by creating a node in the
control group tree. Processes are moved into the scope by means
2013-07-16 12:20:03 +04:00
of the D-Bus API.

<command > systemd-run <option > --scope</option> </command> can be
used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit.</para>
<para > See
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > systemd.unit</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 5</manvolnum> </citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration
files. The common configuration items are configured
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
scope specific configuration options are configured in
the [Scope] section. Currently, only generic cgroup settings
as described in
<citerefentry > <refentrytitle > systemd.cgroup</refentrytitle> <manvolnum > 7</manvolnum> </citerefentry> are allowed.
</para>
<para > Unless <varname > DefaultDependencies=false</varname>
is used, scope units will implicitly have dependencies of
type <varname > Conflicts=</varname> and
<varname > Before=</varname> on
<filename > shutdown.target</filename> . These ensure
that scope units are removed prior to system
shutdown. Only scope units involved with early boot or
late system shutdown should disable this option.
