<title>Description</title>

|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-run</command> may be used to create and
|
|
start a transient <filename>.service</filename> or
|
|
<filename>.scope</filename> unit and run the specified
|
|
<replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> in it. It may also be used to
|
|
create and start transient <filename>.timer</filename>
|
|
units.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a command is run as transient service unit, it will be
|
|
started and managed by the service manager like any other service,
|
|
and thus shows up in the output of <command>systemctl
|
|
list-units</command> like any other unit. It will run in a clean
|
|
and detached execution environment, with the service manager as
|
|
its parent process. In this mode, <command>systemd-run</command>
|
|
will start the service asynchronously in the background and return
|
|
after the command has begun execution.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a command is run as transient scope unit, it will be
|
|
started by <command>systemd-run</command> itself as parent process
|
|
and will thus inherit the execution environment of the
|
|
caller. However, the processes of the command are managed by the
|
|
service manager similar to normal services, and will show up in
|
|
the output of <command>systemctl list-units</command>. Execution
|
|
in this case is synchronous, and will return only when the command
|
|
finishes. This mode is enabled via the <option>--scope</option>
|
|
switch (see below). </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a command is run with timer options such as
|
|
<option>--on-calendar=</option> (see below), a transient timer
|
|
unit is created alongside the service unit for the specified
|
|
command. Only the transient timer unit is started immediately, the
|
|
transient service unit will be started when the transient timer
|
|
elapses. If the <option>--unit=</option> is specified, the
|
|
<replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> may be omitted. In this case,
|
|
<command>systemd-run</command> only creates a
|
|
<filename>.timer</filename> unit that invokes the specified unit
|
|
when elapsing.</para>

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

|
unit, because <command>screen</command> will exit when detaching from the terminal,

<para>The <filename>user@.service</filename> is started automatically

|
|
<filename>user@.service</filename> and all services underneath it
|
|
are terminated. This behaviour is the default, when "lingering" is
|
|
not enabled for that user. Enabling lingering means that
|
|
<filename>user@.service</filename> is started automatically during
|
|
boot, even if the user is not logged in, and that the service is
|
|
not terminated when the user logs out.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Enabling lingering allows the user to run processes without being logged in,
|
|
for example to allow <command>screen</command> to persist after the user logs out,

even if the session scope is terminated. In the default configuration, users can
|
|
enable lingering for themselves:</para>
