The only reason to recommend this would be if people had multiple commands with the same name in the search path. This probably was never the best idea, and it happens rarely anyway. Since the patch that dropped requirement for full paths was introduced, we have dropped support for unmerged-usr and we're planning to drop support for split-bin at some point too. Many people effectively have just one directory in the search path, so there is even less reason to use an absolute path. So let's recommend just using the command name, which makes the unit file shorter and nicer to read.

<para>It is possible for <command>systemd</command> services to take a single argument via the
|
||
<literal><replaceable>service</replaceable>@<replaceable>argument</replaceable>.service</literal>
|
||
syntax. Such services are called "instantiated" services, while the unit definition without the
|
||
<replaceable>argument</replaceable> parameter is called a "template". An example could be a
|
||
<filename>dhcpcd@.service</filename> service template which takes a network interface as a
|
||
parameter to form an instantiated service. Within the service file, this parameter or "instance
|

name" can be accessed with %-specifiers. See

service manager will consider the unit started immediately after the main service process has

<para>It is expected that the process configured with <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the main

executing the service's binary. Note that this means <command>systemctl start</command> command

<para>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 service process, and the service manager will consider the unit started when the parent
|
||
process exits. This is the behavior of traditional UNIX services. If this setting is used, it is
|
||
recommended to also use the <varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so that systemd can reliably
|

identify the main process of the service. The manager will proceed with starting follow-up units

after the parent process exits.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Behavior of <option>oneshot</option> is similar to <option>simple</option>;

however, the service manager will consider the unit up after the main process exits. It will then

start follow-up units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> is particularly useful for this type
|
||
of service. <varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> is the implied default if neither

<varname>Type=</varname> nor <varname>ExecStart=</varname> are specified. Note that if this

option is used without <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> the service will never enter
|
||
<literal>active</literal> unit state, but will directly transition from
|
||
<literal>activating</literal> to <literal>deactivating</literal> or <literal>dead</literal>,
|
||
since no process is configured that shall run continuously. In particular this means that after a
|
||
service of this type ran (and which has <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> not set) it will not
|

show up as started afterwards, but as dead.</para></listitem>
|

|

<listitem><para>Behavior of <option>dbus</option> is similar to <option>simple</option>; however,

units of this type must have the <varname>BusName=</varname> specified and the service manager

if <varname>BusName=</varname> is specified.</para>
|

|

<para>Service units with this option configured implicitly gain dependencies on the

<filename>dbus.socket</filename> unit. A service unit of this type is considered to be in the
|
||
activating state until the specified bus name is acquired. It is considered activated while the
|
||
bus name is taken. Once the bus name is released the service is considered being no longer
|
||
functional which has the effect that the service manager attempts to terminate any remaining
|
||
processes belonging to the service. Services that drop their bus name as part of their shutdown
|

logic thus should be prepared to receive a <constant>SIGTERM</constant> (or whichever signal is
|

configured in <varname>KillSignal=</varname>) as result.</para></listitem>
|

|
||
<listitem><para>Behavior of <option>notify</option> is similar to <option>exec</option>; however,
|

it is expected that the service sends a <literal>READY=1</literal> 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 missing or set to

<option>none</option>, it will be forcibly set to <option>main</option>.</para>

<para>If the service supports reloading, and uses a signal to start the reload, using

with one difference: the <constant>SIGHUP</constant> UNIX process signal is sent to the service's
|

main process when the service is asked to reload and the manager will wait for a notification
|

about the reload being finished.</para>
|

|

<para>When initiating the reload process the service is expected to reply with a notification

message via

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

in μs, formatted as decimal string. Once reloading is complete another notification message must
|

be sent, containing <literal>READY=1</literal>. Using this service type and implementing this
|

reload protocol is an efficient alternative to providing an <varname>ExecReload=</varname>
|
||
command for reloading of the service's configuration.</para>

<para>The signal to send can be tweaked via <varname>ReloadSignal=</varname>, see below.</para>

</listitem>
|

|

<listitem><para>Behavior of <option>idle</option> is very similar to <option>simple</option>; however,
|
||
actual execution of the service program is delayed until all active jobs are dispatched. This may be used
|
||
to avoid interleaving of output of shell services with the status output on the console. Note that this
|
||
type is useful only to improve console output, it is not useful as a general unit ordering tool, and the
|
||
effect of this service type is subject to a 5s timeout, after which the service program is invoked
|
||
anyway.</para></listitem>
|
||
</itemizedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>It is recommended to use <varname>Type=</varname><option>exec</option> for long-running
|
||
services, as it ensures that process setup errors (e.g. errors such as a missing service
|
||
executable, or missing user) are properly tracked. However, as this service type won't propagate
|
||
the failures in the service's own startup code (as opposed to failures in the preparatory steps the
|
||
service manager executes before <function>execve()</function>) and doesn't allow ordering of other
|
||
units against completion of initialization of the service code itself (which for example is useful
|
||
if clients need to connect to the service through some form of IPC, and the IPC channel is only
|
||
established by the service itself — in contrast to doing this ahead of time through socket or bus
|
||
activation or similar), it might not be sufficient for many cases. If so, <option>notify</option>,
|
||
<option>notify-reload</option>, or <option>dbus</option> (the latter only in case the service
|
||
provides a D-Bus interface) are the preferred options as they allow service program code to
|
||
precisely schedule when to consider the service started up successfully and when to proceed with
|
||
follow-up units. The <option>notify</option>/<option>notify-reload</option> service types require
|
||
explicit support in the service codebase (as <function>sd_notify()</function> or an equivalent API
|
||
needs to be invoked by the service at the appropriate time) — if it's not supported, then
|
||
<option>forking</option> is an alternative: it supports the traditional heavy-weight UNIX service
|
||
start-up protocol. Note that using any type other than <option>simple</option> possibly delays the
|
||
boot process, as the service manager needs to wait for at least some service initialization to
|
||
complete. (Also note it is generally not recommended to use <option>idle</option> or
|
||
<option>oneshot</option> for long-running services.)</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that various service settings (e.g. <varname>User=</varname>, <varname>Group=</varname>
|
||
through libc NSS) might result in "hidden" blocking IPC calls to other services when
|
||
used. Sometimes it might be advisable to use the <option>simple</option> service type to ensure
|
||
that the service manager's transaction logic is not affected by such potentially slow operations
|
||
and hidden dependencies, as this is the only service type where the service manager will not wait
|
||
for such service execution setup operations to complete before proceeding.</para></listitem>

On Linux, when memory becomes scarce to the point that the kernel has trouble allocating memory for

full path using a fixed search path determined at compilation time. Searched directories include

<filename>/usr/local/bin/</filename>, <filename>/usr/bin/</filename>, <filename>/bin/</filename> on

<filename>sbin/</filename> counterparts on systems using split <filename>bin/</filename> and

<title>Simple service</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>The following unit file creates a service that will
|
||
execute <filename index="false">/usr/sbin/foo-daemon</filename>. Since no
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname> is specified, the default
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option> will be assumed.
|
||
systemd will assume the unit to be started immediately after the
|
||
program has begun executing.</para>

|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that systemd assumes here that the process started by
|
||
systemd will continue running until the service terminates. If
|
||
the program daemonizes itself (i.e. forks), please use
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> instead.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Since no <varname>ExecStop=</varname> was specified,
|
||
systemd will send SIGTERM to all processes started from this
|
||
service, and after a timeout also SIGKILL. This behavior can be
|
||
modified, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that this unit type does not include any type of notification when a service has completed
|
||
initialization. For this, you should use other unit types, such as
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option>/<varname>Type=</varname><option>notify-reload</option>
|
||
if the service understands systemd's notification protocol,
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> if the service can background itself or
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>dbus</option> if the unit acquires a DBus name once initialization is
|
||
complete. See below.</para>

|
||
<title>Oneshot service</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Sometimes, units should just execute an action without
|
||
keeping active processes, such as a filesystem check or a
|
||
cleanup action on boot. For this,
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> exists. Units
|
||
of this type will wait until the process specified terminates
|
||
and then fall back to being inactive. The following unit will
|
||
perform a cleanup action:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
Description=Cleanup old Foo data
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Type=oneshot
|
||
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/foo-cleanup
|
||
|
||
[Install]
|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that systemd will consider the unit to be in the
|
||
state "starting" until the program has terminated, so ordered
|
||
dependencies will wait for the program to finish before starting
|
||
themselves. The unit will revert to the "inactive" state after
|
||
the execution is done, never reaching the "active" state. That
|
||
means another request to start the unit will perform the action
|
||
again.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> are the
|
||
only service units that may have more than one
|
||
<varname>ExecStart=</varname> specified. For units with multiple
|
||
commands (<varname index="false">Type=oneshot</varname>), all commands will be run again.</para>
|
||
<para> For <varname index="false">Type=oneshot</varname>, <varname>Restart=</varname><option>always</option>
|
||
and <varname>Restart=</varname><option>on-success</option> are <emphasis>not</emphasis> allowed.</para>
|
||
</example>
|
||
|
||
<example>
|
||
<title>Stoppable oneshot service</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Similarly to the oneshot services, there are sometimes
|
||
units that need to execute a program to set up something and
|
||
then execute another to shut it down, but no process remains
|
||
active while they are considered "started". Network
|
||
configuration can sometimes fall into this category. Another use
|
||
case is if a oneshot service shall not be executed each time
|
||
when they are pulled in as a dependency, but only the first
|
||
time.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For this, systemd knows the setting
|
||
<varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname><option>yes</option>, which
|
||
causes systemd to consider the unit to be active if the start
|
||
action exited successfully. This directive can be used with all
|
||
types, but is most useful with
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> and
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option>. With
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option>, systemd waits
|
||
until the start action has completed before it considers the
|
||
unit to be active, so dependencies start only after the start
|
||
action has succeeded. With
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option>, dependencies
|
||
will start immediately after the start action has been
|
||
dispatched. The following unit provides an example for a simple
|
||
static firewall.</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]

ExecStop=/usr/local/sbin/simple-firewall-stop
|
||
|
||
[Install]
|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Since the unit is considered to be running after the start
|
||
action has exited, invoking <command>systemctl start</command>
|
||
on that unit again will cause no action to be taken.</para>
|

<title>Traditional forking services</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Many traditional daemons/services background (i.e. fork,
|
||
daemonize) themselves when starting. Set
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> in the
|
||
service's unit file to support this mode of operation. systemd
|
||
will consider the service to be in the process of initialization
|
||
while the original program is still running. Once it exits
|
||
successfully and at least a process remains (and
|
||
<varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname><option>no</option>), the
|
||
service is considered started.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Often, a traditional daemon only consists of one process.
|
||
Therefore, if only one process is left after the original
|
||
process terminates, systemd will consider that process the main
|
||
process of the service. In that case, the
|
||
<varname>$MAINPID</varname> variable will be available in
|
||
<varname>ExecReload=</varname>, <varname>ExecStop=</varname>,
|
||
etc.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In case more than one process remains, systemd will be
|
||
unable to determine the main process, so it will not assume
|
||
there is one. In that case, <varname>$MAINPID</varname> will not
|
||
expand to anything. However, if the process decides to write a
|
||
traditional PID file, systemd will be able to read the main PID
|
||
from there. Please set <varname>PIDFile=</varname> accordingly.
|
||
Note that the daemon should write that file before finishing
|
||
with its initialization. Otherwise, systemd might try to read the
|
||
file before it exists.</para>

||
|
||
<para>The following example shows a simple daemon that forks and
|
||
just starts one process in the background:</para>

<title>DBus services</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>For services that acquire a name on the DBus system bus,
|
||
use <varname>Type=</varname><option>dbus</option> and set
|
||
<varname>BusName=</varname> accordingly. The service should not
|
||
fork (daemonize). systemd will consider the service to be
|
||
initialized once the name has been acquired on the system bus.
|
||
The following example shows a typical DBus service:</para>

<para>For <emphasis>bus-activatable</emphasis> services, do not

include a [Install] section in the systemd

<title>Services that notify systemd about their initialization</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option> services are really easy to write, but have the
|
||
major disadvantage of systemd not being able to tell when initialization of the given service is
|
||
complete. For this reason, systemd supports a simple notification protocol that allows daemons to make
|
||
systemd aware that they are done initializing. Use <varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option> or
|
||
<varname>Type=</varname><option>notify-reload</option> for this. A typical service file for such a
|
||
daemon would look like this:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>[Unit]
|
||
Description=Simple notifying service
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Type=notify
|
||
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/simple-notifying-service
|
||
|
||
[Install]
|
||
WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that the daemon has to support systemd's notification
|
||
protocol, else systemd will think the service has not started yet
|
||
and kill it after a timeout. For an example of how to update
|
||
daemons to support this protocol transparently, take a look at
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
||
systemd will consider the unit to be in the 'starting' state
|
||
until a readiness notification has arrived.</para>
