Systemd 209 started setting $WATCHDOG_PID, and sd-daemon watch was modified to check for this variable. This means that sd_watchdog_enabled() stopped working with previous versions of systemd. But sd-event is a public library and API and we must keep it working even when a program compiled with a newer version of the libary is used on a system running an older version of the manager. getenv() and unsetenv() are fairly expensive calls, so optimize sd_watchdog_enabled() by not calling them when unnecessary. man: centralize the description of $WATCHDOG_PID and $WATCHDOG_USEC in the sd_watchdog_enabled manpage. It is better not to repeat the same stuff in two places.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para><function>sd_watchdog_enabled()</function> may
|
|
be called by a service to detect whether the service
|
|
manager expects regular keep-alive watchdog
|
|
notification events from it, and the timeout after
|
|
which the manager will act on the service if it did
|
|
not get such a notification.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname>
|
|
environment variable is set, and the
|
|
<varname>$WATCHDOG_PID</varname> variable is unset or
|
|
set to the PID of the current process, the service
|
|
manager expects notifications from this process. The
|
|
manager will usually terminate a service when it does
|
|
not get a notification message within the specified
|
|
time after startup and after each previous message. It
|
|
is recommended that a daemon sends a keep-alive
|
|
notification message to the service manager every half
|
|
of the time returned here. Notification messages may
|
|
be sent with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
with a message string of
|
|
<literal>WATCHDOG=1</literal>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <parameter>unset_environment</parameter>
|
|
parameter is non-zero,
|
|
<function>sd_watchdog_enabled()</function> will unset
|
|
the <varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname> and
|
|
<varname>$WATCHDOG_PID</varname> environment variables
|
|
before returning (regardless of whether the function
|
|
call itself succeeded or not). Those variables are no
|
|
longer inherited by child processes. Further calls to
|
|
<function>sd_watchdog_enabled()</function> will also
|
|
return with zero.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter is
|
|
non-NULL, <function>sd_watchdog_enabled()</function>
|
|
will write the timeout in µs for the watchdog
|
|
logic to it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To enable service supervision with the watchdog
|
|
logic, use <varname>WatchdogSec=</varname> in service
|
|
files. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<title>Return Value</title>

|
<para>On failure, this call returns a negative
|
|
errno-style error code. If the service manager expects
|
|
watchdog keep-alive notification messages to be sent,
|
|
> 0 is returned, otherwise 0 is returned. Only if
|
|
the return value is > 0, the
|
|
<parameter>usec</parameter> parameter is valid after
|
|
the call.</para>

that case, the variables were set for a different
