<title>Description</title>
<para>When run as a system instance, systemd interprets the
configuration file <filename>system.conf</filename> and the files
in <filename>system.conf.d</filename> directories; when run as a
user instance, systemd interprets the configuration file
<filename>user.conf</filename> and the files in
<filename>user.conf.d</filename> directories. These configuration
files contain a few settings controlling basic manager
operations. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<term><varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname></term>
<term><varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configure the hardware watchdog at runtime and at reboot. Takes a timeout value in seconds (or
in other time units if suffixed with <literal>ms</literal>, <literal>min</literal>, <literal>h</literal>,
<literal>d</literal>, <literal>w</literal>). If <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is set to a non-zero
value, the watchdog hardware (<filename>/dev/watchdog</filename> or the path specified with
<varname>WatchdogDevice=</varname> or the kernel option <varname>systemd.watchdog-device=</varname>) will be
programmed to automatically reboot the system if it is not contacted within the specified timeout interval. The
system manager will ensure to contact it at least once in half the specified timeout interval. This feature
requires a hardware watchdog device to be present, as it is commonly the case in embedded and server
systems. Not all hardware watchdogs allow configuration of all possible reboot timeout values, in which case
the closest available timeout is picked. <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to configure the
hardware watchdog when the system is asked to reboot. It works as a safety net to ensure that the reboot takes
place even if a clean reboot attempt times out. Note that the <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> timeout
applies only to the second phase of the reboot, i.e. after all regular services are already terminated, and
after the system and service manager process (PID 1) got replaced by the <filename>systemd-shutdown</filename>
binary, see system <citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. During the first phase of the shutdown operation the system and service manager remains running
and hence <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is still honoured. In order to define a timeout on this first
phase of system shutdown, configure <varname>JobTimeoutSec=</varname> and <varname>JobTimeoutAction=</varname>
in the [Unit] section of the <filename>shutdown.target</filename> unit. By default
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> defaults to 0 (off), and <varname>RebootWatchdogSec=</varname> to
10min. <varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to additionally enable the watchdog when kexec
is being executed rather than when rebooting. Note that if the kernel does not reset the watchdog on kexec (depending
on the specific hardware and/or driver), in this case the watchdog might not get disabled after kexec succeeds
and thus the system might get rebooted, unless <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled at the same time.
For this reason it is recommended to enable <varname>KExecWatchdogSec=</varname> only if
<varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is also enabled.
These settings have no effect if a hardware watchdog is not available.</para></listitem>

names as read by
<citerefentry project='mankier'><refentrytitle>cap_from_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Capabilities listed will be included in the bounding set, all
others are removed. If the list of capabilities is prefixed
with ~, all but the listed capabilities will be included, the
effect of the assignment inverted. Note that this option also
affects the respective capabilities in the effective,
permitted and inheritable capability sets. The capability
bounding set may also be individually configured for units
using the <varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> directive
for units, but note that capabilities dropped for PID 1 cannot
be regained in individual units, they are lost for

<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>execve</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
(e.g. via setuid or setgid bits, or filesystem capabilities).
Defaults to false. General purpose distributions commonly rely
on executables with setuid or setgid bits and will thus not
function properly with this option enabled. Individual units
cannot disable this option.

<term><varname>SystemCallArchitectures=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a space-separated list of architecture
identifiers. Selects from which architectures system calls may
be invoked on this system. This may be used as an effective
way to disable invocation of non-native binaries system-wide,
for example to prohibit execution of 32-bit x86 binaries on
64-bit x86-64 systems. This option operates system-wide, and
acts similar to the
<varname>SystemCallArchitectures=</varname> setting of unit
files, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. This setting defaults to the empty list, in which
case no filtering of system calls based on architecture is
applied. Known architecture identifiers are
<literal>x86</literal>, <literal>x86-64</literal>,
<literal>x32</literal>, <literal>arm</literal> and the special
identifier <literal>native</literal>. The latter implicitly
maps to the native architecture of the system (or more
specifically, the architecture the system manager was compiled
for). Set this setting to <literal>native</literal> to
prohibit execution of any non-native binaries. When a binary
executes a system call of an architecture that is not listed
in this setting, it will be immediately terminated with the
SIGSYS signal.</para></listitem>
