systemd System and Service Manager
|
||||
|
||||
CHANGES WITH 186:
|
||||
|
||||
* Several tools now understand kernel command line arguments,
|
||||
which are only read when run in an initial RAM disk. They
|
||||
usually follow closely their normal counterparts, but are
|
||||
prefixed with rd.
|
||||
|
||||
* There's a new tool to analyze the readahead files that are
|
||||
automatically generated at boot. Use:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze /.readahead
|
||||
|
||||
* We now provide an early debug shell on tty9 if this enabled. Use:
|
||||
|
||||
systemctl enable systemd-debug-shell.service
|
||||
|
||||
* All plymouth related units have been moved into the Plymouth
|
||||
package. Please make sure to upgrade your Plymouth version
|
||||
as well.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd-tmpfiles now supports getting passed the basename of
|
||||
a configuration file only, in which case it will look for it
|
||||
in all appropriate directories automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
* udevadm info now takes a /dev or /sys path as argument, and
|
||||
does the right thing. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
udevadm info /dev/sda
|
||||
udevadm info /sys/class/block/sda
|
||||
|
||||
* systemctl now prints a warning if a unit is stopped but a
|
||||
unit that might trigger it continues to run. Example: a
|
||||
service is stopped but the socket that activates it is left
|
||||
running.
|
||||
|
||||
* "systemctl status" will now mention if the log output was
|
||||
shortened due to rotation since a service has been started.
|
||||
|
||||
* The journal API now exposes functions to determine the
|
||||
"cutoff" times due to rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
* journald now understands SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for triggering
|
||||
immediately flushing of runtime logs to /var if possible,
|
||||
resp. for triggering immediate rotation of the journal
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
* It is now considered an error if a service is attempted to
|
||||
be stopped that is not loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
* XDG_RUNTIME_DIR now uses numeric UIDs instead of usernames.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd-analyze now supports Python 3
|
||||
|
||||
* tmpfiles now supports cleaning up directories via aging
|
||||
where the first level dirs are always kept around but
|
||||
directories beneath it automatically aged. This is enabled
|
||||
by prefixing the age field with '~'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Seat objects now expose CanGraphical, CanTTY properties
|
||||
which is required to deal with very fast bootups where the
|
||||
display manager might be running before the graphics drivers
|
||||
completed initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
* Seat objects now expose a State property.
|
||||
|
||||
* We now include RPM macros for service enabling/disabling
|
||||
based on the preset logic. We recommend RPM based
|
||||
distributions to make use of these macros if possible. This
|
||||
makes it simpler to reuse RPM spec files across
|
||||
distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
* We now make sure that the collected systemd unit name is
|
||||
always valid when services log to the journal via
|
||||
STDOUT/STDERR.
|
||||
|
||||
* There's a new man page kernel-command-line(7) detailing all
|
||||
command line options we understand.
|
||||
|
||||
* The fstab generator may now be disabled at boot by passing
|
||||
fstab=0 on the kernel command line.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new kernel command line option driver= is now understood
|
||||
to load a specific kernel module statically, early at boot.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unit names specified on the systemctl command line are now
|
||||
automatically escaped as needed. Also, if file system or
|
||||
device paths are specified they are automatically turned
|
||||
into the appropriate mount or device unit names. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
systemctl status /home
|
||||
systemctl status /dev/sda
|
||||
|
||||
* The SysVConsole= configuration option has been removed from
|
||||
system.conf parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
* The SysV search path is no longer exported on the D-Bus
|
||||
Manager object.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Names= option is been removed from unit file parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
* There's a new man page bootup(7) detailing the boot process.
|
||||
|
||||
* Every unit and every generator we ship with systemd now
|
||||
comes with full documentation. The self-explanatory boot is
|
||||
complete.
|
||||
|
||||
* A couple of services gained "systemd-" prefixes in their
|
||||
name if they wrap systemd code, rather than only external
|
||||
code. Among them fsck@.service which is now
|
||||
systemd-fsck@.service.
|
||||
|
||||
* The HaveWatchdog property has been removed from the D-Bus
|
||||
Manager object.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd.confirm_spawn= on the kernel command line should now
|
||||
work sensibly.
|
||||
|
||||
* There's a new man page crypttab(5) which details all options
|
||||
we actually understand.
|
||||
|
||||
* systemd-nspawn gained a new --capability= switch to pass
|
||||
additional capabilities to the container.
|
||||
|
||||
* timedated will now read known NTP implementation unit names
|
||||
from /usr/share/systemd/ntp-units,
|
||||
systemd-timedated-ntp.target has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* journalctl gained a new switch "-b" that lists log data of
|
||||
the current boot only.
|
||||
|
||||
* The notify socket is in the abstract namespace again, in
|
||||
order to support daemons which chroot() at start-up.
|
||||
|
||||
* There is a new Storage= configuration option for journald
|
||||
which allows configuration of where log data should go. This
|
||||
also provides a way to disable journal logging entirely, so
|
||||
that data collected is only forwarded to the console, the
|
||||
kernel log buffer or another syslog implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
* Many bugfixes and optimizations.

|

CHANGES WITH 185:
|
||||
* "systemctl help <unit>" now shows the man page if one is
|
||||
available.
|
||||
|
||||
* Several new man pages have been added.
|
||||
|
||||
* MaxLevelStore=, MaxLevelSyslog=, MaxLevelKMsg=, MaxLevelConsole=
|
||||
can now be specified in journald.conf.
|
||||
* MaxLevelStore=, MaxLevelSyslog=, MaxLevelKMsg=,
|
||||
MaxLevelConsole= can now be specified in
|
||||
journald.conf. These options allow reducing the amount of
|
||||
data stored on disk or forwarded by the log level.
|
||||
|
||||
* TimerSlackNSec= can now be specified in system.conf for PID1.
|
||||
* TimerSlackNSec= can now be specified in system.conf for
|
||||
PID1. This allows system-wide power savings.

|
||||
sleep keys as well as the lid switch.
