<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
||
<filename>.service</filename> encodes information
|
||
about a process controlled and supervised by
|
||
systemd.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This man page lists the configuration options
|
||
specific to this unit type. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for the common options of all unit configuration
|
||
files. The common configuration items are configured
|
||
in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
|
||
<literal>[Install]</literal> sections. The service
|
||
specific configuration options are configured in the
|
||
<literal>[Service]</literal> section.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Additional options are listed in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
which define the execution environment the commands
|
||
are executed in, and in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
which define the way the processes of the service are
|
||
terminated, and in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
which configure resource control settings for the
|
||
processes of the service.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
|
||
is set to <option>false</option>, service units will
|
||
implicitly have dependencies of type
|
||
<varname>Requires=</varname> and
|
||
<varname>After=</varname> on
|
||
<filename>basic.target</filename> as well as
|
||
dependencies of type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
|
||
<varname>Before=</varname> on
|
||
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
|
||
that normal service units pull in basic system
|
||
initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
|
||
system shutdown. Only services involved with early
|
||
boot or late system shutdown should disable this
|
||
option.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If a service is requested under a certain name
|
||
but no unit configuration file is found, systemd looks
|
||
for a SysV init script by the same name (with the
|
||
<filename>.service</filename> suffix removed) and
|
||
dynamically creates a service unit from that
|
||
script. This is useful for compatibility with
|
||
SysV. Note that this compatibility is quite
|
||
comprehensive but not 100%. For details about the
|
||
incompatibilities, see the <ulink
|
||
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Incompatibilities">Incompatibilities
|
||
with SysV</ulink> document.

<title>Options</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Service files must include a
|
||
<literal>[Service]</literal> section, which carries
|
||
information about the service and the process it
|
||
supervises. A number of options that may be used in
|
||
this section are shared with other unit types. These
|
||
options are documented in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
and
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
||
options specific to the <literal>[Service]</literal>
|
||
section of service units are the following:</para>
|
||
|
||
<variablelist class='unit-directives'>
|
||
<varlistentry>
|
||
<term><varname>Type=</varname></term>
|
||
|
||
<listitem><para>Configures the process
|
||
start-up type for this service
|

unit. One of <option>simple</option>,
|
||
<option>forking</option>,
|
||
<option>oneshot</option>,
|
||
<option>dbus</option>,
|
||
<option>notify</option> or
|
||
<option>idle</option>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If set to
|
||
<option>simple</option> (the default
|
||
if neither
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname> nor
|
||
<varname>BusName=</varname>, but
|
||
<varname>ExecStart=</varname> are
|
||
specified), it is expected that the
|
||
process configured with
|
||
<varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the
|
||
main process of the service. In this
|
||
mode, if the process offers
|
||
functionality to other processes on
|
||
the system, its communication channels
|
||
should be installed before the daemon
|
||
is started up (e.g. sockets set up by
|
||
systemd, via socket activation), as
|
||
systemd will immediately proceed
|
||
starting follow-up units.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If set to
|
||
<option>forking</option>, it is
|
||
expected that the process configured
|
||
with <varname>ExecStart=</varname>
|
||
will call <function>fork()</function>
|
||
as part of its start-up. The parent process is
|
||
expected to exit when start-up is
|
||
complete and all communication
|
||
channels are set up. The child continues
|
||
to run as the main daemon
|
||
process. This is the behavior of
|
||
traditional UNIX daemons. If this
|
||
setting is used, it is recommended to
|
||
also use the
|
||
<varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so
|
||
that systemd can identify the main
|
||
process of the daemon. systemd will
|
||
proceed with starting follow-up units
|
||
as soon as the parent process
|
||
exits.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Behavior of
|
||
<option>oneshot</option> is similar to
|
||
<option>simple</option>; however, it
|
||
is expected that the process has to
|
||
exit before systemd starts follow-up
|
||
units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname>
|
||
is particularly useful for this type
|
||
of service. This is the implied
|
||
default if neither
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname> or
|
||
<varname>ExecStart=</varname> are
|
||
specified.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Behavior of
|
||
<option>dbus</option> is similar to
|
||
<option>simple</option>; however, it is
|
||
expected that the daemon acquires a
|
||
name on the D-Bus bus, as configured
|
||
by
|
||
<varname>BusName=</varname>. systemd
|
||
will proceed with starting follow-up
|
||
units after the D-Bus bus name has been
|
||
acquired. Service units with this
|
||
option configured implicitly gain
|
||
dependencies on the
|
||
<filename>dbus.socket</filename>
|
||
unit. This type is the default if
|
||
<varname>BusName=</varname> is
|
||
specified.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Behavior of
|
||
<option>notify</option> is similar to
|
||
<option>simple</option>; however, it is
|
||
expected that the daemon sends a
|
||
notification message via
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or an equivalent call when it has finished
|
||
starting up. systemd will proceed with
|
||
starting follow-up units after this
|
||
notification message has been sent. If
|
||
this option is used,
|
||
<varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> (see
|
||
below) should be set to open access to
|
||
the notification socket provided by
|
||
systemd. If
|
||
<varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> is
|
||
not set, it will be implicitly set to
|
||
<option>main</option>. Note that
|
||
currently
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option>
|
||
will not work if used in combination with
|
||
<varname>PrivateNetwork=</varname><option>yes</option>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Behavior of
|
||
<option>idle</option> is very similar
|
||
to <option>simple</option>; however,
|
||
actual execution of the service
|
||
binary is delayed until all jobs are
|
||
dispatched. This may be used to avoid
|
||
interleaving of output of shell
|
||
services with the status output on the
|
||
console.</para>

<ulink url="https://code.google.com/p/d-bus/">kdbus</ulink>

endpoint can hold an own set of policy rules
|

that are enforced on top of the bus-wide ones.
|
||
The custom endpoint is named after the service
|
||
it was created for, and its node will be
|
||
bind-mounted over the default bus node
|
||
location, so the service can only access the
|

bus through its own endpoint. Note that custom
|
||
bus endpoints default to a 'deny all' policy.
|
||
Hence, if at least one
|

<varname>BusPolicy=</varname> directive is
|

given, you have to make sure to add explicit
|

rules for everything the service should be able

to do.</para>
|

<para>The value of this directive is comprised

of two parts; the bus name, and a verb to

<title>Command lines</title>
|

<para>This section describes command line parsing and

variable and specifier substitions for
|
||
<varname>ExecStart=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ExecStartPost=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ExecReload=</varname>,
|
||
<varname>ExecStop=</varname>, and

||
<varname>ExecStopPost=</varname> options.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Multiple command lines may be concatenated in a
|
||
single directive by separating them with semicolons
|
||
(these semicolons must be passed as separate words).
|
||
Lone semicolons may be escaped as
|
||
<literal>\;</literal>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Each command line is split on whitespace, with
|
||
the first item being the command to execute, and the
|
||
subsequent items being the arguments. Double quotes
|
||
("...") and single quotes ('...') may be used, in
|
||
which case everything until the next matching quote
|
||
becomes part of the same argument. Quotes themselves
|
||
are removed after parsing. In addition, a trailing
|
||
backslash (<literal>\</literal>) may be used to merge
|
||
lines. </para>
|
||
|
||
<para>This syntax is intended to be very similar to
|
||
shell syntax, but only the meta-characters and
|
||
expansions described in the following paragraphs are
|
||
understood. Specifically, redirection using
|
||
<literal><</literal>, <literal><<</literal>,
|
||
<literal>></literal>, and
|
||
<literal>>></literal>, pipes using
|
||
<literal>|</literal>, running programs in the
|
||
background using <literal>&</literal>, and
|
||
<emphasis>other elements of shell syntax are not
|
||
supported</emphasis>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The command line accepts <literal>%</literal>
|
||
specifiers as described in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
||
Note that the first argument of the command line
|
||
(i.e. the program to execute) may not include
|
||
specifiers.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Basic environment variable substitution is
|
||
supported. Use <literal>${FOO}</literal> as part of a
|
||
word, or as a word of its own, on the command line, in
|
||
which case it will be replaced by the value of the
|
||
environment variable including all whitespace it
|
||
contains, resulting in a single argument. Use
|
||
<literal>$FOO</literal> as a separate word on the
|
||
command line, in which case it will be replaced by the
|
||
value of the environment variable split at whitespace
|
||
resulting in zero or more arguments. For this type of
|
||
expansion, quotes and respected when splitting into
|
||
words, and afterwards removed.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Example:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>Environment="ONE=one" 'TWO=two two'
|
||
ExecStart=/bin/echo $ONE $TWO ${TWO}</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>This will execute <command>/bin/echo</command>
|
||
with four arguments: <literal>one</literal>,
|
||
<literal>two</literal>, <literal>two</literal>, and
|
||
<literal>two two</literal>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Example:</para>
|
||
<programlisting>Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
|
||
ExecStart=/bin/echo ${ONE} ${TWO} ${THREE}
|
||
ExecStart=/bin/echo $ONE $TWO $THREE</programlisting>
|
||
<para>This results in <filename>echo</filename> being
|
||
called twice, the first time with arguments
|
||
<literal>'one'</literal>,
|
||
<literal>'two two' too</literal>, <literal></literal>,
|
||
and the second time with arguments
|
||
<literal>one</literal>, <literal>two two</literal>,
|
||
<literal>too</literal>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To pass a literal dollar sign, use
|
||
<literal>$$</literal>. Variables whose value is not
|
||
known at expansion time are treated as empty
|
||
strings. Note that the first argument (i.e. the
|
||
program to execute) may not be a variable.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Variables to be used in this fashion may be
|
||
defined through <varname>Environment=</varname> and
|
||
<varname>EnvironmentFile=</varname>. In addition,
|
||
variables listed in the section "Environment variables
|
||
in spawned processes" in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
which are considered "static configuration", may be
|
||
used (this includes e.g. <varname>$USER</varname>, but
|
||
not <varname>$TERM</varname>).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that shell command lines are not directly
|
||
supported. If shell command lines are to be used, they
|
||
need to be passed explicitly to a shell implementation
|
||
of some kind. Example:</para>
|
||
<programlisting>ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'dmesg | tac'</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Example:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>ExecStart=/bin/echo one ; /bin/echo "two two"</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>This will execute <command>/bin/echo</command>
|
||
two times, each time with one argument:
|
||
<literal>one</literal> and <literal>two two</literal>,
|
||
respectively. Because two commands are specified,
|
||
<varname>Type=oneshot</varname> must be used.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Example:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>ExecStart=/bin/echo / >/dev/null & \; \
|
||
/bin/ls</programlisting>
|

<para>This will execute <command>/bin/echo</command>
|
||
with five arguments: <literal>/</literal>,
|
||
<literal>>/dev/null</literal>,
