Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
<para>Unit configuration files for services, sockets, mount
points, swap devices and scopes share a subset of configuration
options which define the killing procedure of processes belonging
to the unit.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
these five unit types. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options shared by all unit configuration files, and

for more information on the configuration file options specific to

killed. One of
<option>control-group</option>,
<option>process</option>,
<option>mixed</option>,
<option>none</option>.</para>
<para>If set to <option>control-group</option>, all remaining
processes in the control group of this unit will be killed on
unit stop (for services: after the stop command is executed,
as configured with <varname>ExecStop=</varname>). If set to
<option>process</option>, only the main process itself is
killed. If set to <option>mixed</option>, the
<constant>SIGTERM</constant> signal (see below) is sent to the
main process while the subsequent <constant>SIGKILL</constant>
signal (see below) is sent to all remaining processes of the
unit's control group. If set to <option>none</option>, no
process is killed. In this case, only the stop command will be
executed on unit stop, but no process be killed otherwise.
Processes remaining alive after stop are left in their control
group and the control group continues to exist after stop
unless it is empty.</para>
<para>Processes will first be terminated via
<constant>SIGTERM</constant> (unless the signal to send is
changed via <varname>KillSignal=</varname>). Optionally, this
is immediately followed by a <constant>SIGHUP</constant> (if
enabled with <varname>SendSIGHUP=</varname>). If then, after a
delay (configured via the <varname>TimeoutStopSec=</varname>
option), processes still remain, the termination request is
repeated with the <constant>SIGKILL</constant> signal (unless
this is disabled via the <varname>SendSIGKILL=</varname>
option). See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<term><varname>KillSignal=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies which signal to use when killing a
service. This controls the signal that is sent as first step
of shutting down a unit (see above), and is usually followed
by <constant>SIGKILL</constant> (see above and below). For a

this setting systemd will always send
<constant>SIGCONT</constant>, to ensure that even suspended
tasks can be terminated cleanly.</para>

<term><varname>SendSIGHUP=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies whether to send
<constant>SIGHUP</constant> to remaining processes immediately
after sending the signal configured with

shells and shell-like programs that their connection has been
severed. Takes a boolean value. Defaults to "no".
