The following details are passed:
- unit: the primary name of the unit upon which the action was
invoked (i.e. after resolving any aliases);
- verb: one of 'start', 'stop', 'reload', 'restart', 'try-restart',
'reload-or-restart', 'reload-or-try-restart', 'kill',
'reset-failed', or 'set-property', corresponding to the
systemctl verb used to invoke the action.
Typical use of these details in a polkit policy rule might be:
// Allow alice to manage example.service;
// fall back to implicit authorization otherwise.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units" &&
action.lookup("unit") == "example.service" &&
subject.user == "alice") {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
We also supply a custom polkit message that includes the unit's name and
the requested operation.
For plymouth themes not supporting i18n (like .script), send translated
messages to display to user, which is equivalent to the sent machine
readable data.
