The + syntax is inspired by XDG + Desktop Entry Specification .desktop files, which are in turn + inspired by Microsoft Windows + .ini files. + + This man page lists the common configuration + options of all the unit types. These options need to + be configured in the [Unit] or [Install] + sections of the unit files. + + In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install] + sections described here, each unit may have a + type-specific section, e.g. [Service] for a service + unit. See the respective man pages for more + information: + systemd.service5, + systemd.socket5, + systemd.device5, + systemd.mount5, + systemd.automount5, + systemd.swap5, + systemd.target5, + systemd.path5, + systemd.timer5, + systemd.snapshot5. + + + Unit files are loaded from a set of paths + determined during compilation, described in the next section. + + + Unit files may contain additional options on top + of those listed here. If systemd encounters an unknown + option it will write a warning log message but + continue loading the unit. If an option is prefixed + with it is ignored completely by + systemd. Applications may use this to include + additional information in the unit files. + + Boolean arguments used in unit files can be + written in various formats. For positive settings the + strings , , + and are + equivalent. For negative settings the strings + , , + and are + equivalent. + + Time span values encoded in unit files can be + written in various formats. A stand-alone number + specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time + unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of multiple + values with units is supported, in which case the + values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50 + seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200 + milliseconds, i.e. 120200ms. The following time units + are understood: s, min, h, d, w, ms, us. For details + see + systemd.time7. + + Empty lines and lines starting with # or ; are + ignored. This may be used for commenting. Lines ending + in a backslash are concatenated with the following + line while reading and the backslash is replaced by a + space character. This may be used to wrap long lines. + + Along with a unit file + foo.service the directory + foo.service.wants/ may exist. All + unit files symlinked from such a directory are + implicitly added as dependencies of type + Wanted= to the unit. This is useful + to hook units into the start-up of other units, + without having to modify their unit files. For details + about the semantics of Wanted= see + below. The preferred way to create symlinks in the + .wants/ directory of a unit file + is with the enable command of the + systemctl1 + tool which reads information from the [Install] + section of unit files (see below). A similar + functionality exists for Requires= + type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is + .requires/ in this case. + + Along with a unit file + foo.service a directory + foo.service.d/ may exist. All + files with the suffix .conf from + this directory will be parsed after the file itself is + parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration + settings to a unit, without having to modify their + unit files. Make sure that the file that is included + has the appropriate section headers before any + directive. + + If a line starts with + followed by a file name, the specified file will be + parsed at this point. Make sure that the file that is + included has the appropriate section headers before + any directives. + + Note that while systemd offers a flexible + dependency system between units it is recommended to + use this functionality only sparingly and instead rely + on techniques such as bus-based or socket-based + activation which make dependencies implicit, resulting + in a both simpler and more flexible system. + + Some unit names reflect paths existing in the + file system name space. Example: a device unit + dev-sda.device refers to a device + with the device node /dev/sda in + the file system namespace. If this applies a special + way to escape the path name is used, so that the + result is usable as part of a file name. Basically, + given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all + unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by + C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is + encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial + and ending "/" is removed from all paths during + transformation. This escaping is reversible. + + Optionally, units may be instantiated from a + template file at runtime. This allows creation of + multiple units from a single configuration file. If + systemd looks for a unit configuration file it will + first search for the literal unit name in the + filesystem. If that yields no success and the unit + name contains an @ character, systemd will look for a + unit template that shares the same name but with the + instance string (i.e. the part between the @ character + and the suffix) removed. Example: if a service + getty@tty3.service is requested + and no file by that name is found, systemd will look + for getty@.service and + instantiate a service from that configuration file if + it is found. + + To refer to the instance string from + within the configuration file you may use the special + %i specifier in many of the + configuration options. See below for details. + + If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size + 0) or is symlinked to /dev/null + its configuration will not be loaded and it appears + with a load state of masked, and + cannot be activated. Use this as an effective way to + fully disable a unit, making it impossible to start it + even manually. + + The unit file format is covered by the + Interface + Stability Promise. + + + + + Unit load path + + Unit files are loaded from a set of paths + determined during compilation, described in the two + tables below. Unit files found in directories higher + in the hierarchy override files with the same name + lower in the hierarchy, thus allowing overrides. + + + When systemd is running in session mode + () and the variable + $SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH is set, this + contents of this variable overrides the unit load + path. + + + + + Load path when running in system mode (<option>--system</option>). + + + + + + + + Path + Description + + + + + /run/systemd/generator.early + Generated units + + + @SYSTEM_CONFIG_UNIT_PATH@ + Local configuration + + + /etc/systemd/system + + + /run/systemd/systemd + Volatile units + + + /run/systemd/generator + Generated units + + + /usr/local/lib/systemd/system + Units for local packages + + + @systemunitdir@ + Systemd package configuration + + + /usr/lib/systemd/system + Units for installed packages + + + /lib/systemd/system + + + /run/systemd/generator.late + Generated units + + + +

+ + Note: the paths listed above are set at + compilation time and differ between distributions. The + "authorative" list is printed by + systemd at during start and daemon + reconfiguration. + + Additional units might be loaded into systemd + ("linked") from directories not on the unit load + path. See the link command for + systemctl1. + + + + + Options + + Unit file may include a [Unit] section, which + carries generic information about the unit that is not + dependent on the type of unit: + + + + + Description= + A free-form string + describing the unit. This is intended + for use in UIs to show descriptive + information along with the unit + name. + + + + Documentation= + A space separated list + of URIs referencing documentation for + this unit or its + configuration. Accepted are only URIs + of the types + http://, + https://, + file:, + info:, + man:. For more + information about the syntax of these + URIs see + uri7. The + URIs should be listed in order of + relevance, starting with the most + relevant. It is a good idea to first + reference documentation that explains + what the unit's purpose is, followed + by how it is configured, followed by + any other related documentation. This + option may be specified more than once + in which case the specified list of + URIs is merged. If the empty string is + assigned to this option the list is + reset and all prior assignments will + have no effect. + + + + Requires= + + Configures requirement + dependencies on other units. If this + unit gets activated, the units listed + here will be activated as well. If one + of the other units gets deactivated or + its activation fails, this unit will + be deactivated. This option may be + specified more than once, in which + case requirement dependencies for all + listed names are created. Note that + requirement dependencies do not + influence the order in which services + are started or stopped. This has to be + configured independently with the + After= or + Before= options. If + a unit + foo.service + requires a unit + bar.service as + configured with + Requires= and no + ordering is configured with + After= or + Before=, then both + units will be started simultaneously + and without any delay between them if + foo.service is + activated. Often it is a better choice + to use Wants= + instead of + Requires= in order + to achieve a system that is more + robust when dealing with failing + services. + + Note that dependencies of this + type may also be configured outside of + the unit configuration file by + adding a symlink to a + .requires/ directory + accompanying the unit file. For + details see above. + + + + RequiresOverridable= + + Similar to + Requires=. + Dependencies listed in + RequiresOverridable= + which cannot be fulfilled or fail to + start are ignored if the startup was + explicitly requested by the user. If + the start-up was pulled in indirectly + by some dependency or automatic + start-up of units that is not + requested by the user this dependency + must be fulfilled and otherwise the + transaction fails. Hence, this option + may be used to configure dependencies + that are normally honored unless the + user explicitly starts up the unit, in + which case whether they failed or not + is irrelevant. + + + + Requisite= + RequisiteOverridable= + + Similar to + Requires= + and RequiresOverridable=, respectively. However, + if a unit listed here is not started + already it will not be started and the + transaction fails + immediately. + + + + Wants= + + A weaker version of + Requires=. A unit + listed in this option will be started + if the configuring unit is. However, + if the listed unit fails to start up + or cannot be added to the transaction + this has no impact on the validity of + the transaction as a whole. This is + the recommended way to hook start-up + of one unit to the start-up of another + unit. + + Note that dependencies of this + type may also be configured outside of + the unit configuration file by + adding a symlink to a + .wants/ directory + accompanying the unit file. For + details see above. + + + + BindsTo= + + Configures requirement + dependencies, very similar in style to + Requires=, however + in addition to this behavior it also + declares that this unit is stopped + when any of the units listed suddenly + disappears. Units can suddenly, + unexpectedly disappear if a service + terminates on its own choice, a device + is unplugged or a mount point + unmounted without involvement of + systemd. + + + + PartOf= + + Configures dependencies + similar to Requires=, + but limited to stopping and restarting + of units. When systemd stops or restarts + the units listed here, the action is + propagated to this unit. + Note that this is a one way dependency - + changes to this unit do not affect the + listed units. + + + + + Conflicts= + + Configures negative + requirement dependencies. If a unit + has a + Conflicts= setting + on another unit, starting the former + will stop the latter and vice + versa. Note that this setting is + independent of and orthogonal to the + After= and + Before= ordering + dependencies. + + If a unit A that conflicts with + a unit B is scheduled to be started at + the same time as B, the transaction + will either fail (in case both are + required part of the transaction) or + be modified to be fixed (in case one + or both jobs are not a required part + of the transaction). In the latter + case the job that is not the required + will be removed, or in case both are + not required the unit that conflicts + will be started and the unit that is + conflicted is + stopped. + + + + Before= + After= + + Configures ordering + dependencies between units. If a unit + foo.service + contains a setting + + and both units are being started, + bar.service's + start-up is delayed until + foo.service is + started up. Note that this setting is + independent of and orthogonal to the + requirement dependencies as configured + by Requires=. It is + a common pattern to include a unit + name in both the + After= and + Requires= option in + which case the unit listed will be + started before the unit that is + configured with these options. This + option may be specified more than + once, in which case ordering + dependencies for all listed names are + created. After= is + the inverse of + Before=, i.e. while + After= ensures that + the configured unit is started after + the listed unit finished starting up, + Before= ensures the + opposite, i.e. that the configured + unit is fully started up before the + listed unit is started. Note that when + two units with an ordering dependency + between them are shut down, the + inverse of the start-up order is + applied. i.e. if a unit is configured + with After= on + another unit, the former is stopped + before the latter if both are shut + down. If one unit with an ordering + dependency on another unit is shut + down while the latter is started up, + the shut down is ordered before the + start-up regardless whether the + ordering dependency is actually of + type After= or + Before=. If two + units have no ordering dependencies + between them they are shut down + or started up simultaneously, and + no ordering takes + place. + + + + OnFailure= + + Lists one or more + units that are activated when this + unit enters the + 'failed' + state. + + + + PropagatesReloadTo= + ReloadPropagatedFrom= + + Lists one or more + units where reload requests on the + unit will be propagated to/on the + other unit will be propagated + from. Issuing a reload request on a + unit will automatically also enqueue a + reload request on all units that the + reload request shall be propagated to + via these two + settings. + + + + RequiresMountsFor= + + Takes a space + separated list of absolute paths. Automatically + adds dependencies of type + Requires= and + After= for all + mount units required to access the + specified path. + + + + OnFailureIsolate= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If the + unit listed in + OnFailure= will be + enqueued in isolation mode, i.e. all + units that are not its dependency will + be stopped. If this is set only a + single unit may be listed in + OnFailure=. Defaults + to + . + + + + IgnoreOnIsolate= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + this unit will not be stopped when + isolating another unit. Defaults to + . + + + + IgnoreOnSnapshot= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + this unit will not be included in + snapshots. Defaults to + for device and + snapshot units, + for the others. + + + + StopWhenUnneeded= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + this unit will be stopped when it is + no longer used. Note that in order to + minimize the work to be executed, + systemd will not stop units by default + unless they are conflicting with other + units, or the user explicitly + requested their shut down. If this + option is set, a unit will be + automatically cleaned up if no other + active unit requires it. Defaults to + . + + + + RefuseManualStart= + RefuseManualStop= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + this unit can only be activated + or deactivated indirectly. In + this case explicit start-up + or termination requested by the + user is denied, however if it is + started or stopped as a + dependency of another unit, start-up + or termination will succeed. This + is mostly a safety feature to ensure + that the user does not accidentally + activate units that are not intended + to be activated explicitly, and not + accidentally deactivate units that are + not intended to be deactivated. + These options default to + . + + + + AllowIsolate= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + this unit may be used with the + systemctl isolate + command. Otherwise this will be + refused. It probably is a good idea to + leave this disabled except for target + units that shall be used similar to + runlevels in SysV init systems, just + as a precaution to avoid unusable + system states. This option defaults to + . + + + + DefaultDependencies= + + Takes a boolean + argument. If + (the default), a few default + dependencies will implicitly be + created for the unit. The actual + dependencies created depend on the + unit type. For example, for service + units, these dependencies ensure that + the service is started only after + basic system initialization is + completed and is properly terminated on + system shutdown. See the respective + man pages for details. Generally, only + services involved with early boot or + late shutdown should set this option + to . It is + highly recommended to leave this + option enabled for the majority of + common units. If set to + this option + does not disable all implicit + dependencies, just non-essential + ones. + + + + JobTimeoutSec= + + When clients are + waiting for a job of this unit to + complete, time out after the specified + time. If this time limit is reached + the job will be cancelled, the unit + however will not change state or even + enter the 'failed' + mode. This value defaults to 0 (job + timeouts disabled), except for device + units. NB: this timeout is independent + from any unit-specific timeout (for + example, the timeout set with + Timeout= in service + units) as the job timeout has no + effect on the unit itself, only on the + job that might be pending for it. Or + in other words: unit-specific timeouts + are useful to abort unit state + changes, and revert them. The job + timeout set with this option however + is useful to abort only the job + waiting for the unit state to + change. + + + + ConditionPathExists= + ConditionPathExistsGlob= + ConditionPathIsDirectory= + ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink= + ConditionPathIsMountPoint= + ConditionPathIsReadWrite= + ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= + ConditionFileNotEmpty= + ConditionFileIsExecutable= + ConditionKernelCommandLine= + ConditionVirtualization= + ConditionSecurity= + ConditionCapability= + ConditionHost= + ConditionACPower= + ConditionNull= + + Before starting a unit + verify that the specified condition is + true. If it is not true the starting + of the unit will be skipped, however + all ordering dependencies of it are + still respected. A failing condition + will not result in the unit being + moved into a failure state. The + condition is checked at the time the + queued start job is to be + executed. + + With + ConditionPathExists= + a file existence condition is + checked before a unit is started. If + the specified absolute path name does + not exist the condition will + fail. If the absolute path name passed + to + ConditionPathExists= + is prefixed with an exclamation mark + ('!'), the test is negated, and the unit + is only started if the path does not + exist. + + ConditionPathExistsGlob= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists=, + but checks for the existence of at + least one file or directory matching + the specified globbing pattern. + + ConditionPathIsDirectory= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists and is a + directory. + + ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists and is a symbolic + link. + + ConditionPathIsMountPoint= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists and is a mount + point. + + ConditionPathIsReadWrite= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether the underlying + file system is readable and writable + (i.e. not mounted + read-only). + + ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists and is a non-empty + directory. + + ConditionFileNotEmpty= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists and refers to a regular file + with a non-zero size. + + ConditionFileIsExecutable= + is similar to + ConditionPathExists= + but verifies whether a certain path + exists, is a regular file and marked + executable. + + Similar, + ConditionKernelCommandLine= + may be used to check whether a + specific kernel command line option is + set (or if prefixed with the + exclamation mark unset). The argument + must either be a single word, or an + assignment (i.e. two words, separated + '='). In the former + case the kernel command line is + searched for the word appearing as is, + or as left hand side of an + assignment. In the latter case the + exact assignment is looked for with + right and left hand side + matching. + + ConditionVirtualization= + may be used to check whether the + system is executed in a virtualized + environment and optionally test + whether it is a specific + implementation. Takes either boolean + value to check if being executed in + any virtualized environment, or one of + vm and + container to test + against a generic type of + virtualization solution, or one of + qemu, + kvm, + vmware, + microsoft, + oracle, + xen, + bochs, + chroot, + openvz, + lxc, + lxc-libvirt, + systemd-nspawn to + test against a specific + implementation. If multiple + virtualization technologies are nested + only the innermost is considered. The + test may be negated by prepending an + exclamation mark. + + ConditionSecurity= + may be used to check whether the given + security module is enabled on the + system. Currently the only recognized + value is selinux. + The test may be negated by prepending + an exclamation + mark. + + ConditionCapability= + may be used to check whether the given + capability exists in the capability + bounding set of the service manager + (i.e. this does not check whether + capability is actually available in + the permitted or effective sets, see + capabilities7 + for details). Pass a capability name + such as CAP_MKNOD, + possibly prefixed with an exclamation + mark to negate the check. + + ConditionHost= + may be used to match against the + host name or machine ID of the + host. This either takes a host name + string (optionally with shell style + globs) which is tested against the + locally set host name as returned by + gethostname2, + or a machine ID formatted as string + (see + machine-id5). + The test may be negated by prepending + an exclamation mark. + + ConditionACPower= + may be used to check whether the + system has AC power, or is exclusively + battery powered at the time of + activation of the unit. This takes a + boolean argument. If set to + true the condition + will hold only if at least one AC + connector of the system is connected + to a power source, or if no AC + connectors are known. Conversely, if + set to false the + condition will hold only if there is + at least one AC connector known and + all AC connectors are disconnected + from a power source. + + Finally, + ConditionNull= may + be used to add a constant condition + check value to the unit. It takes a + boolean argument. If set to + false the condition + will always fail, otherwise + succeed. + + If multiple conditions are + specified the unit will be executed if + all of them apply (i.e. a logical AND + is applied). Condition checks can be + prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) in + which case a condition becomes a + triggering condition. If at least one + triggering condition is defined for a + unit then the unit will be executed if + at least one of the triggering + conditions apply and all of the + non-triggering conditions. If you + prefix an argument with the pipe + symbol and an exclamation mark the + pipe symbol must be passed first, the + exclamation second. Except for + ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=, + all path checks follow symlinks. If + any of these options is assigned the + empty string the list of conditions is + reset completely, all previous + condition settings (of any kind) will + have no effect. + + + + SourcePath= + A path to a + configuration file this unit has been + generated from. This is primarily + useful for implementation of generator + tools that convert configuration from + an external configuration file format + into native unit files. Thus + functionality should not be used in + normal units. + + + + Unit file may include a [Install] section, which + carries installation information for the unit. This + section is not interpreted by + systemd1 + during runtime. It is used exclusively by the + enable and + disable commands of the + systemctl1 + tool during installation of a unit: + + + + Alias= + + Additional names this + unit shall be installed under. The + names listed here must have the same + suffix (i.e. type) as the unit file + name. This option may be specified + more than once, in which case all + listed names are used. At installation + time, + systemctl enable + will create symlinks from these names + to the unit file name. + + + + WantedBy= + RequiredBy= + + Installs a symlink in + the .wants/ + or .requires/ + subdirectory for a unit, respectively. This has the + effect that when the listed unit name + is activated the unit listing it is + activated + too. WantedBy=foo.service + in a service + bar.service is + mostly equivalent to + Alias=foo.service.wants/bar.service + in the same file. + + + + Also= + + Additional units to + install when this unit is + installed.

The - syntax is inspired by XDG - Desktop Entry Specification .desktop files, which are in turn - inspired by Microsoft Windows - .ini files. - - This man page lists the common configuration - options of all the unit types. These options need to - be configured in the [Unit] or [Install] - sections of the unit files. - - In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install] - sections described here, each unit may have a - type-specific section, e.g. [Service] for a service - unit. See the respective man pages for more - information: - systemd.service5, - systemd.socket5, - systemd.device5, - systemd.mount5, - systemd.automount5, - systemd.swap5, - systemd.target5, - systemd.path5, - systemd.timer5, - systemd.snapshot5. - - - Unit files are loaded from a set of paths - determined during compilation, described in the next section. - - - Unit files may contain additional options on top - of those listed here. If systemd encounters an unknown - option it will write a warning log message but - continue loading the unit. If an option is prefixed - with it is ignored completely by - systemd. Applications may use this to include - additional information in the unit files. - - Boolean arguments used in unit files can be - written in various formats. For positive settings the - strings , , - and are - equivalent. For negative settings the strings - , , - and are - equivalent. - - Time span values encoded in unit files can be - written in various formats. A stand-alone number - specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time - unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of multiple - values with units is supported, in which case the - values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50 - seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200 - milliseconds, i.e. 120200ms. The following time units - are understood: s, min, h, d, w, ms, us. For details - see - systemd.time7. - - Empty lines and lines starting with # or ; are - ignored. This may be used for commenting. Lines ending - in a backslash are concatenated with the following - line while reading and the backslash is replaced by a - space character. This may be used to wrap long lines. - - Along with a unit file - foo.service the directory - foo.service.wants/ may exist. All - unit files symlinked from such a directory are - implicitly added as dependencies of type - Wanted= to the unit. This is useful - to hook units into the start-up of other units, - without having to modify their unit files. For details - about the semantics of Wanted= see - below. The preferred way to create symlinks in the - .wants/ directory of a unit file - is with the enable command of the - systemctl1 - tool which reads information from the [Install] - section of unit files (see below). A similar - functionality exists for Requires= - type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is - .requires/ in this case. - - Along with a unit file - foo.service a directory - foo.service.d/ may exist. All - files with the suffix .conf from - this directory will be parsed after the file itself is - parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration - settings to a unit, without having to modify their - unit files. Make sure that the file that is included - has the appropriate section headers before any - directive. - - If a line starts with - followed by a file name, the specified file will be - parsed at this point. Make sure that the file that is - included has the appropriate section headers before - any directives. - - Note that while systemd offers a flexible - dependency system between units it is recommended to - use this functionality only sparingly and instead rely - on techniques such as bus-based or socket-based - activation which make dependencies implicit, resulting - in a both simpler and more flexible system. - - Some unit names reflect paths existing in the - file system name space. Example: a device unit - dev-sda.device refers to a device - with the device node /dev/sda in - the file system namespace. If this applies a special - way to escape the path name is used, so that the - result is usable as part of a file name. Basically, - given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all - unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by - C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is - encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial - and ending "/" is removed from all paths during - transformation. This escaping is reversible. - - Optionally, units may be instantiated from a - template file at runtime. This allows creation of - multiple units from a single configuration file. If - systemd looks for a unit configuration file it will - first search for the literal unit name in the - filesystem. If that yields no success and the unit - name contains an @ character, systemd will look for a - unit template that shares the same name but with the - instance string (i.e. the part between the @ character - and the suffix) removed. Example: if a service - getty@tty3.service is requested - and no file by that name is found, systemd will look - for getty@.service and - instantiate a service from that configuration file if - it is found. - - To refer to the instance string from - within the configuration file you may use the special - %i specifier in many of the - configuration options. See below for details. - - If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size - 0) or is symlinked to /dev/null - its configuration will not be loaded and it appears - with a load state of masked, and - cannot be activated. Use this as an effective way to - fully disable a unit, making it impossible to start it - even manually. - - The unit file format is covered by the - Interface - Stability Promise. - - - - - Unit load path - - Unit files are loaded from a set of paths - determined during compilation, described in the two - tables below. Unit files found in directories higher - in the hierarchy override files with the same name - lower in the hierarchy, thus allowing overrides. - - - When systemd is running in session mode - () and the variable - $SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH is set, this - contents of this variable overrides the unit load - path. - - - - - Load path when running in system mode (<option>--system</option>). - - - - - - - - Path - Description - - - - - /run/systemd/generator.early - Generated units - - - @SYSTEM_CONFIG_UNIT_PATH@ - Local configuration - - - /etc/systemd/system - - - /run/systemd/systemd - Volatile units - - - /run/systemd/generator - Generated units - - - /usr/local/lib/systemd/system - Units for local packages - - - @systemunitdir@ - Systemd package configuration - - - /usr/lib/systemd/system - Units for installed packages - - - /lib/systemd/system - - - /run/systemd/generator.late - Generated units - - - -

- - Note: the paths listed above are set at - compilation time and differ between distributions. The - "authorative" list is printed by - systemd at during start and daemon - reconfiguration. - - Additional units might be loaded into systemd - ("linked") from directories not on the unit load - path. See the link command for - systemctl1. - - - - - Options - - Unit file may include a [Unit] section, which - carries generic information about the unit that is not - dependent on the type of unit: - - - - - Description= - A free-form string - describing the unit. This is intended - for use in UIs to show descriptive - information along with the unit - name. - - - - Documentation= - A space separated list - of URIs referencing documentation for - this unit or its - configuration. Accepted are only URIs - of the types - http://, - https://, - file:, - info:, - man:. For more - information about the syntax of these - URIs see - uri7. The - URIs should be listed in order of - relevance, starting with the most - relevant. It is a good idea to first - reference documentation that explains - what the unit's purpose is, followed - by how it is configured, followed by - any other related documentation. This - option may be specified more than once - in which case the specified list of - URIs is merged. If the empty string is - assigned to this option the list is - reset and all prior assignments will - have no effect. - - - - Requires= - - Configures requirement - dependencies on other units. If this - unit gets activated, the units listed - here will be activated as well. If one - of the other units gets deactivated or - its activation fails, this unit will - be deactivated. This option may be - specified more than once, in which - case requirement dependencies for all - listed names are created. Note that - requirement dependencies do not - influence the order in which services - are started or stopped. This has to be - configured independently with the - After= or - Before= options. If - a unit - foo.service - requires a unit - bar.service as - configured with - Requires= and no - ordering is configured with - After= or - Before=, then both - units will be started simultaneously - and without any delay between them if - foo.service is - activated. Often it is a better choice - to use Wants= - instead of - Requires= in order - to achieve a system that is more - robust when dealing with failing - services. - - Note that dependencies of this - type may also be configured outside of - the unit configuration file by - adding a symlink to a - .requires/ directory - accompanying the unit file. For - details see above. - - - - RequiresOverridable= - - Similar to - Requires=. - Dependencies listed in - RequiresOverridable= - which cannot be fulfilled or fail to - start are ignored if the startup was - explicitly requested by the user. If - the start-up was pulled in indirectly - by some dependency or automatic - start-up of units that is not - requested by the user this dependency - must be fulfilled and otherwise the - transaction fails. Hence, this option - may be used to configure dependencies - that are normally honored unless the - user explicitly starts up the unit, in - which case whether they failed or not - is irrelevant. - - - - Requisite= - RequisiteOverridable= - - Similar to - Requires= - and RequiresOverridable=, respectively. However, - if a unit listed here is not started - already it will not be started and the - transaction fails - immediately. - - - - Wants= - - A weaker version of - Requires=. A unit - listed in this option will be started - if the configuring unit is. However, - if the listed unit fails to start up - or cannot be added to the transaction - this has no impact on the validity of - the transaction as a whole. This is - the recommended way to hook start-up - of one unit to the start-up of another - unit. - - Note that dependencies of this - type may also be configured outside of - the unit configuration file by - adding a symlink to a - .wants/ directory - accompanying the unit file. For - details see above. - - - - BindsTo= - - Configures requirement - dependencies, very similar in style to - Requires=, however - in addition to this behavior it also - declares that this unit is stopped - when any of the units listed suddenly - disappears. Units can suddenly, - unexpectedly disappear if a service - terminates on its own choice, a device - is unplugged or a mount point - unmounted without involvement of - systemd. - - - - PartOf= - - Configures dependencies - similar to Requires=, - but limited to stopping and restarting - of units. When systemd stops or restarts - the units listed here, the action is - propagated to this unit. - Note that this is a one way dependency - - changes to this unit do not affect the - listed units. - - - - - Conflicts= - - Configures negative - requirement dependencies. If a unit - has a - Conflicts= setting - on another unit, starting the former - will stop the latter and vice - versa. Note that this setting is - independent of and orthogonal to the - After= and - Before= ordering - dependencies. - - If a unit A that conflicts with - a unit B is scheduled to be started at - the same time as B, the transaction - will either fail (in case both are - required part of the transaction) or - be modified to be fixed (in case one - or both jobs are not a required part - of the transaction). In the latter - case the job that is not the required - will be removed, or in case both are - not required the unit that conflicts - will be started and the unit that is - conflicted is - stopped. - - - - Before= - After= - - Configures ordering - dependencies between units. If a unit - foo.service - contains a setting - - and both units are being started, - bar.service's - start-up is delayed until - foo.service is - started up. Note that this setting is - independent of and orthogonal to the - requirement dependencies as configured - by Requires=. It is - a common pattern to include a unit - name in both the - After= and - Requires= option in - which case the unit listed will be - started before the unit that is - configured with these options. This - option may be specified more than - once, in which case ordering - dependencies for all listed names are - created. After= is - the inverse of - Before=, i.e. while - After= ensures that - the configured unit is started after - the listed unit finished starting up, - Before= ensures the - opposite, i.e. that the configured - unit is fully started up before the - listed unit is started. Note that when - two units with an ordering dependency - between them are shut down, the - inverse of the start-up order is - applied. i.e. if a unit is configured - with After= on - another unit, the former is stopped - before the latter if both are shut - down. If one unit with an ordering - dependency on another unit is shut - down while the latter is started up, - the shut down is ordered before the - start-up regardless whether the - ordering dependency is actually of - type After= or - Before=. If two - units have no ordering dependencies - between them they are shut down - or started up simultaneously, and - no ordering takes - place. - - - - OnFailure= - - Lists one or more - units that are activated when this - unit enters the - 'failed' - state. - - - - PropagatesReloadTo= - ReloadPropagatedFrom= - - Lists one or more - units where reload requests on the - unit will be propagated to/on the - other unit will be propagated - from. Issuing a reload request on a - unit will automatically also enqueue a - reload request on all units that the - reload request shall be propagated to - via these two - settings. - - - - RequiresMountsFor= - - Takes a space - separated list of absolute paths. Automatically - adds dependencies of type - Requires= and - After= for all - mount units required to access the - specified path. - - - - OnFailureIsolate= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If the - unit listed in - OnFailure= will be - enqueued in isolation mode, i.e. all - units that are not its dependency will - be stopped. If this is set only a - single unit may be listed in - OnFailure=. Defaults - to - . - - - - IgnoreOnIsolate= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - this unit will not be stopped when - isolating another unit. Defaults to - . - - - - IgnoreOnSnapshot= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - this unit will not be included in - snapshots. Defaults to - for device and - snapshot units, - for the others. - - - - StopWhenUnneeded= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - this unit will be stopped when it is - no longer used. Note that in order to - minimize the work to be executed, - systemd will not stop units by default - unless they are conflicting with other - units, or the user explicitly - requested their shut down. If this - option is set, a unit will be - automatically cleaned up if no other - active unit requires it. Defaults to - . - - - - RefuseManualStart= - RefuseManualStop= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - this unit can only be activated - or deactivated indirectly. In - this case explicit start-up - or termination requested by the - user is denied, however if it is - started or stopped as a - dependency of another unit, start-up - or termination will succeed. This - is mostly a safety feature to ensure - that the user does not accidentally - activate units that are not intended - to be activated explicitly, and not - accidentally deactivate units that are - not intended to be deactivated. - These options default to - . - - - - AllowIsolate= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - this unit may be used with the - systemctl isolate - command. Otherwise this will be - refused. It probably is a good idea to - leave this disabled except for target - units that shall be used similar to - runlevels in SysV init systems, just - as a precaution to avoid unusable - system states. This option defaults to - . - - - - DefaultDependencies= - - Takes a boolean - argument. If - (the default), a few default - dependencies will implicitly be - created for the unit. The actual - dependencies created depend on the - unit type. For example, for service - units, these dependencies ensure that - the service is started only after - basic system initialization is - completed and is properly terminated on - system shutdown. See the respective - man pages for details. Generally, only - services involved with early boot or - late shutdown should set this option - to . It is - highly recommended to leave this - option enabled for the majority of - common units. If set to - this option - does not disable all implicit - dependencies, just non-essential - ones. - - - - JobTimeoutSec= - - When clients are - waiting for a job of this unit to - complete, time out after the specified - time. If this time limit is reached - the job will be cancelled, the unit - however will not change state or even - enter the 'failed' - mode. This value defaults to 0 (job - timeouts disabled), except for device - units. NB: this timeout is independent - from any unit-specific timeout (for - example, the timeout set with - Timeout= in service - units) as the job timeout has no - effect on the unit itself, only on the - job that might be pending for it. Or - in other words: unit-specific timeouts - are useful to abort unit state - changes, and revert them. The job - timeout set with this option however - is useful to abort only the job - waiting for the unit state to - change. - - - - ConditionPathExists= - ConditionPathExistsGlob= - ConditionPathIsDirectory= - ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink= - ConditionPathIsMountPoint= - ConditionPathIsReadWrite= - ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= - ConditionFileNotEmpty= - ConditionFileIsExecutable= - ConditionKernelCommandLine= - ConditionVirtualization= - ConditionSecurity= - ConditionCapability= - ConditionHost= - ConditionACPower= - ConditionNull= - - Before starting a unit - verify that the specified condition is - true. If it is not true the starting - of the unit will be skipped, however - all ordering dependencies of it are - still respected. A failing condition - will not result in the unit being - moved into a failure state. The - condition is checked at the time the - queued start job is to be - executed. - - With - ConditionPathExists= - a file existence condition is - checked before a unit is started. If - the specified absolute path name does - not exist the condition will - fail. If the absolute path name passed - to - ConditionPathExists= - is prefixed with an exclamation mark - ('!'), the test is negated, and the unit - is only started if the path does not - exist. - - ConditionPathExistsGlob= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists=, - but checks for the existence of at - least one file or directory matching - the specified globbing pattern. - - ConditionPathIsDirectory= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists and is a - directory. - - ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists and is a symbolic - link. - - ConditionPathIsMountPoint= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists and is a mount - point. - - ConditionPathIsReadWrite= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether the underlying - file system is readable and writable - (i.e. not mounted - read-only). - - ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists and is a non-empty - directory. - - ConditionFileNotEmpty= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists and refers to a regular file - with a non-zero size. - - ConditionFileIsExecutable= - is similar to - ConditionPathExists= - but verifies whether a certain path - exists, is a regular file and marked - executable. - - Similar, - ConditionKernelCommandLine= - may be used to check whether a - specific kernel command line option is - set (or if prefixed with the - exclamation mark unset). The argument - must either be a single word, or an - assignment (i.e. two words, separated - '='). In the former - case the kernel command line is - searched for the word appearing as is, - or as left hand side of an - assignment. In the latter case the - exact assignment is looked for with - right and left hand side - matching. - - ConditionVirtualization= - may be used to check whether the - system is executed in a virtualized - environment and optionally test - whether it is a specific - implementation. Takes either boolean - value to check if being executed in - any virtualized environment, or one of - vm and - container to test - against a generic type of - virtualization solution, or one of - qemu, - kvm, - vmware, - microsoft, - oracle, - xen, - bochs, - chroot, - openvz, - lxc, - lxc-libvirt, - systemd-nspawn to - test against a specific - implementation. If multiple - virtualization technologies are nested - only the innermost is considered. The - test may be negated by prepending an - exclamation mark. - - ConditionSecurity= - may be used to check whether the given - security module is enabled on the - system. Currently the only recognized - value is selinux. - The test may be negated by prepending - an exclamation - mark. - - ConditionCapability= - may be used to check whether the given - capability exists in the capability - bounding set of the service manager - (i.e. this does not check whether - capability is actually available in - the permitted or effective sets, see - capabilities7 - for details). Pass a capability name - such as CAP_MKNOD, - possibly prefixed with an exclamation - mark to negate the check. - - ConditionHost= - may be used to match against the - host name or machine ID of the - host. This either takes a host name - string (optionally with shell style - globs) which is tested against the - locally set host name as returned by - gethostname2, - or a machine ID formatted as string - (see - machine-id5). - The test may be negated by prepending - an exclamation mark. - - ConditionACPower= - may be used to check whether the - system has AC power, or is exclusively - battery powered at the time of - activation of the unit. This takes a - boolean argument. If set to - true the condition - will hold only if at least one AC - connector of the system is connected - to a power source, or if no AC - connectors are known. Conversely, if - set to false the - condition will hold only if there is - at least one AC connector known and - all AC connectors are disconnected - from a power source. - - Finally, - ConditionNull= may - be used to add a constant condition - check value to the unit. It takes a - boolean argument. If set to - false the condition - will always fail, otherwise - succeed. - - If multiple conditions are - specified the unit will be executed if - all of them apply (i.e. a logical AND - is applied). Condition checks can be - prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) in - which case a condition becomes a - triggering condition. If at least one - triggering condition is defined for a - unit then the unit will be executed if - at least one of the triggering - conditions apply and all of the - non-triggering conditions. If you - prefix an argument with the pipe - symbol and an exclamation mark the - pipe symbol must be passed first, the - exclamation second. Except for - ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=, - all path checks follow symlinks. If - any of these options is assigned the - empty string the list of conditions is - reset completely, all previous - condition settings (of any kind) will - have no effect. - - - - SourcePath= - A path to a - configuration file this unit has been - generated from. This is primarily - useful for implementation of generator - tools that convert configuration from - an external configuration file format - into native unit files. Thus - functionality should not be used in - normal units. - - - - Unit file may include a [Install] section, which - carries installation information for the unit. This - section is not interpreted by - systemd1 - during runtime. It is used exclusively by the - enable and - disable commands of the - systemctl1 - tool during installation of a unit: - - - - Alias= - - Additional names this - unit shall be installed under. The - names listed here must have the same - suffix (i.e. type) as the unit file - name. This option may be specified - more than once, in which case all - listed names are used. At installation - time, - systemctl enable - will create symlinks from these names - to the unit file name. - - - - WantedBy= - RequiredBy= - - Installs a symlink in - the .wants/ - or .requires/ - subdirectory for a unit, respectively. This has the - effect that when the listed unit name - is activated the unit listing it is - activated - too. WantedBy=foo.service - in a service - bar.service is - mostly equivalent to - Alias=foo.service.wants/bar.service - in the same file. - - - - Also= - - Additional units to - install when this unit is - installed. If the user requests - installation of a unit with this - option configured, - systemctl enable - will automatically install units - listed in this option as - well. - - - - The following specifiers are interpreted in the - Install section: %n, %N, %p, %i, %U, %u, %m, %H, %b. - For their meaning see the next section. - - - - - Specifiers - - Many settings resolve specifiers which may be - used to write generic unit files referring to runtime - or unit parameters that are replaced when the unit - files are loaded. The following specifiers are - understood: - - - Specifiers available in unit files - - - - - - - Specifier - Meaning - Details - - - - - %n - Full unit name - - - - %N - Unescaped full unit name - - - - %p - Prefix name - For instantiated units this refers to the string before the @. For non-instantiated units this refers to to the name of the unit with the type suffix removed. - - - %P - Unescaped prefix name - - - - %i - Instance name - For instantiated units: this is the string between the @ character and the suffix. - - - %I - Unescaped instance name - - - - %f - Unescaped file name - This is either the unescaped instance name (if applicable) with / prepended (if applicable), or the prefix name similarly prepended with /. - - - %c - Control group path of the unit - - - - %r - Root control group path of systemd - - - - %R - Parent directory of the root control group path of systemd - - - - %t - Runtime socket dir - This is either /run (for the system manager) or $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (for user managers). - - - %u - User name - This is the name of the configured user of the unit, or (if none is set) the user running the systemd instance. - - - %U - User UID - This is the UID of the configured user of the unit, or (if none is set) the user running the systemd instance. - - - %h - User home directory - This is the home directory of the configured user of the unit, or (if none is set) the user running the systemd instance. - - - %s - User shell - This is the shell of the configured - user of the unit, or (if none is set) the user - running the systemd instance. If the user is - root (UID equal to 0), the - shell configured in account database is - ignored and /bin/sh is - always used. - - - - %m - Machine ID - The machine ID of the running system, formatted as string.
