Naming is always a matter of preference, and the old name would certainly work,
but I think the new one has the following advantages:
- A verb is better than a noun.
- The name more similar to "the competition", i.e. 'sudo', 'pkexec', 'runas',
'doas', which generally include an action verb.
- The connection between 'systemd-run' and 'run0' is more obvious.
There has been no release yet with the old name, so we can rename without
caring for backwards compatibility.
This adds a new --background= switch that allows specifiying a
background color for the terminal while the tool runs.
It also teaches the tool when invoked as uid0 to tint the terminal in a
reddish hue when operating as root, and in a yellowish hue when
operating as any other user.
This should highlight nicely when the user is operating with elevated
privileges, or changed privileges.
This turns "systemd-run" into a multi-call binary. When invoked under
the name "uid0", then it behaves a bit more like traditional "sudo".
This mostly means defaults appropriuate for that, for example a PAM
stack, interactivity and more.
Fixes: #29199
As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
The intention was to have this option enabled by default everywhere,
but unfortunately at least one case was found where it breaks
compatibility of a program using systemd-run --scopes and expecting
variables not to be expanded:
https://sources.debian.org/src/pbuilder/0.231/pbuilder-checkparams/#L400
Example run:
systemd-run --quiet --scope --description=pbuilder_build_xfce4-notes-plugin_1.10.0-1.dsc '--slice=system-pbuilder-build-xfce4\x2dnotes\x2dplugin_1.10.0\x2d1-449932.slice' chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/build/449932 dpkg-query -W '--showformat=${Version}' apt
Restore backward compatibility and make the option disabled by default
when --scope is used, and enabled by default for other types.
In case --expand-environment is not specified and a '$' character is
detected, print a warning to nudge users toward specifying the
parameter as needed. In the future we can then flip the default.

This makes syntax be the same for commands which are started by the manager and
those which are spawned directly (when --scope is used).
Before:
$ systemd-run -q -t echo '$TERM'
xterm-256color
$ systemd-run -q --scope echo '$TERM'
$TERM
Now:
$ systemd-run -q --scope echo '$TERM'
xterm-256color
Previous behaviour can be restored via --expand-environment=no:
$ systemd-run -q --scope --expand-environment=no echo '$TERM'
$TERM
Fixes#22948.
At some level, this is a compat break. Fortunately --scope is not very widely
used, so I think we can get away with this. Having different syntax depending
on whether --scope was used or not was bad UX.
A NEWS entry will be required.
This uses StartExecEx to get the equivalent of ExecStart=:. StartExecEx was
added in b3d593673c, so this will not work with
older systemds.
A hint is emitted if we get an error indicating lack of support. PID1 returns
SD_BUS_ERROR_PROPERTY_READ_ONLY, but I'm checking for
SD_BUS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PROPERTY too for safety.
(The one case that is left unchanged is '< <(subcommand)'.)
This way, the style with no gap was already dominant. This way, the reader
immediately knows that ' < ' is a comparison operator and ' << ' is a shift.
In a few cases, replace custom EOF replacement by just EOF. There is no point
in using someting like "_EOL" unless "EOF" appears in the text.
This comes up occasionally with new users. The phrase "Logs begin ..." is
ambiguous because it can be taken to mean the logs being displayed or all logs
(the intended meaning). Let's rephrase this as "Journal begins ..." to make
this clearer.
Fixes#13756. We were returning things that didn't make much sense:
we would always use the exit_code value as the exit code. But it sometimes
contains a exit code from the process, and sometimes the number of a signal
that was used to kill the process. We would also ignore SuccessExitStatus=
and in general whether systemd thinks the service exited successfully
(hence the issue in #13756, where systemd would return success/SIGTERM,
but we'd just look at the SIGTERM part.)
If we are doing --wait, let's always propagate the exit code/status from
the child.
While at it, make the documentation useful.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
I keep running "systemd-run -t /bin/bash" to quickly get a shell running
in service context. I suspect I am not the only one, hence let's add a
shortcut for it. While we are at it, let's make it smarter, and
automatically inherit the $SHELL of the invoking user as well as the
working directory, and let's imply --pty. --shell (or -S) is hence
equivalent to "-t -d $SHELL".
I find myself testing service management quite often with "systemd-run
-t /bin/bash". For that it is handy if the invoked shell would use the
working directory I am currently in. Hence introduce a shorthand for
that:
$ systemd-run -dt /bin/bash
This will automatically insert a WorkingDirectory= property into the
transient service, pointing to the working directory of the caller.
And while we are at it, let's rearrange and extend the Type=
documentation a bit. Let's make it an itemized list, and let's add a
paragraph explaining which type best to use.
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Systemd services are permitted to be scripts, as well as binary
executables.
The same also applies to the underlying /sbin/mount and /sbin/swapon.
It is not necessary for the user to consider what type of program file
these are. Nor is it necessary with systemd-nspawn, to distinguish between
init as a "binary" v.s. a user-specified "program".
Also fix a couple of grammar nits in the modified sentences.
