-
- <para><command>systemd-run</command> may be used to create and
- start a transient <filename>.service</filename> or a transient
- <filename>.timer</filename> or a <filename>.scope</filename> unit
- and run the specified <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> in
- it.</para>
-
- <para>If a command is run as transient service unit, it will be
- started and managed by the service manager like any other service,
- and thus show up in the output of <command>systemctl
- list-units</command> like any other unit. It will run in a clean
- and detached execution environment. <command>systemd-run</command>
- will start the service asynchronously in the background and
- immediately return.</para>
-
- <para>If a command is run with timer options, transient timer unit
- also be created with transient service unit. But the transient
- timer unit is only started immediately. The transient service unit
- will be started when the transient timer is elapsed. If
- <option>--unit=</option> is specified with timer options, the
- <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> can be omitted. In this case,
- <command>systemd-run</command> assumes service unit is already
- loaded and creates transient timer unit only. To successfully
- create timer unit, already loaded service unit should be specified
- with <option>--unit=</option>. This transient timer unit can
- activate the existing service unit like any other timer.</para>
-
- <para>If a command is run as transient scope unit, it will be
- started directly by <command>systemd-run</command> and thus
- inherit the execution environment of the caller. It is however
- managed by the service manager similar to normal services, and
- will also show up in the output of <command>systemctl
- list-units</command>. Execution in this case is synchronous, and
- execution will return only when the command finishes.</para>
