'systemctl disable --runtime' would disable a unit, but only if it was enabled with '--runtime', and silently do nothing if the unit was enabled persistently. And similarly 'systemctl disable' would do nothing if the unit was enabled in /run. This just doesn't seem useful. This pathch changes enable/disable and mask/unmask to be asymmetrical. enable and mask create symlinks in /etc or /run, depending on whether --runtime was specified. disable and unmask remove symlinks from both locations. --runtime cannot be specified for the disable and unmask verbs. The advantage is that 'disable' now means that the unit is disabled, period. And similarly for 'unmask', all masks are removed. Similarly for preset and preset-all, they now cannot be called with --runtime, and are asymmetrical: when they enable a unit, symlinks are created in /etc. When they disable a unit, all symlinks are nuked. $ systemctl --root=/ enable bluetooth Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.bluez.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service.

<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

<para><literal>ignore-requirements</literal> is similar to

<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

not. The units may possibly also be quickly unloaded after the operation is completed if there's no reason

to keep it in memory thereafter.

<para>Many properties shown by <command>systemctl show</command> map directly to configuration settings of

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

<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>. The file system where the linked
|
||
unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started (e.g. anything underneath
|
||
<filename>/home</filename> or <filename>/var</filename> is not allowed, unless those directories are
|
||
located on the root file system).</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. Note that in the last case, no
|
||
systemd daemon configuration is reloaded.</para>

removed, too. Note that if a unit file has no vendor-supplied version (i.e. is only defined below

<para>Switches to a different root directory and executes a new system manager process below it. This is

intended for usage in initial RAM disks ("initrd"), and will transition from the initrd's system manager

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

volume. This call takes two arguments: the directory that is to become the new root directory, and the path
|
||
to the new system manager binary below it to execute as PID 1. If the latter is omitted or the empty
|
||
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

the state of the services involved in the initrd boot phase.</para>

<title>Parameter Syntax</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name (designated as <replaceable>UNIT</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>UNIT</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
|
||
<programlisting># systemctl link /path/to/foo.service</programlisting>
