We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-notify</command> may be
|
|
called by daemon scripts to notify the init system
|
|
about status changes. It can be used to send arbitrary
|
|
information, encoded in an environment-block-like list
|
|
of strings. Most importantly it can be used for
|
|
start-up completion notification.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is mostly just a wrapper around
|
|
<function>sd_notify()</function> and makes this
|
|
functionality available to shell scripts. For details
|
|
see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The command line may carry a list of
|
|
environment variables to send as part of the status
|
|
update.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that systemd will refuse reception of
|
|
status updates from this command unless
|
|
<varname>NotifyAccess=all</varname> is set for the
|
|
service unit this command is called from.</para>
