Both permit configuring data to pass through STDIN to an invoked
process. StandardInputText= accepts a line of text (possibly with
embedded C-style escapes as well as unit specifiers), which is appended
to the buffer to pass as stdin, followed by a single newline.
StandardInputData= is similar, but accepts arbitrary base64 encoded
data, and will not resolve specifiers or C-style escapes, nor append
newlines.
This may be used to pass input/configuration data to services, directly
in-line from unit files, either in a cooked or in a more raw format.
loginctl, machinectl, systemctl all have very similar implementations of
a get_output_flags() functions. Simplify it by merging two lines that
set the same flag.
Currently, "systemctl reboot" behaves differently in setups with and
without logind. If logind is used (which is probably the more common
case) the operation is asynchronous, and otherwise synchronous (though
subject to --no-block in this case). Let's clean this up, and always
expose the same behaviour, regardless if logind is used or not: let's
always make it asynchronous.
It might make sense to add a "--block" mode in a future PR that makes
these operations synchronous, but this requires non-trivial work in
logind, and is outside of the scope of this change.
See: #6479
This adds new method calls Halt() and CanHalt() to the logind bus APIs.
They aren't overly useful (as the whole concept of halting isn't really
too useful), however they clean up one major asymmetry: currently, using
the "shutdown" legacy commands it is possibly to enqueue a "halt"
operation through logind, while logind officially doesn't actually
support this. Moreover, the path through "shutdown" currently ultimately
fails, since the referenced "halt" action isn't actually defined in
PolicyKit.
Finally, the current logic results in an unexpected asymmetry in
systemctl: "systemctl poweroff", "systemctl reboot" are currently
asynchronous (due to the logind involvement) while "systemctl halt"
isnt. Let's clean this up, and make all three APIs implemented by
logind natively, and all three hence asynchronous in "systemctl".
Moreover, let's add the missing PK action.
Fixes: #6957
This was the one valid site in commit
ee043777be.
The second part of this hunk, avoiding using `%m`
when we didn't actually have `errno` set, seems
like a nice enough cleanup to be worthwhile on
it's own.
Also use PID_FMT to improve the error message we print
(pid_t is signed).
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
This reverts commit ee043777be.
It broke almost everywhere it touched. The places that
handn't been converted, were mostly followed by special
handling for the invalid PID `0`. That explains why they
tested for `pid < 0` instead of `pid <= 0`.
I think that one was the first commit I reviewed, heh.
systemctl would try to load the properties of the unit, which is impossible
for template names, and the whole operation would fail. It seems that this
regression was introduced in 00c83b4300.
Export the part of unit_find_paths() responsible for locating instance unit
fragments and reuse it from unit_exists() to fix the handling of template
units.
Fixes#6412.
913c1916 changed _ACTION_INVALID to negative, changing the enum to a
signed type. Take care to avoid comparing it with an unsigned type.
../src/systemctl/systemctl.c: In function ‘start_unit’:
../src/systemctl/systemctl.c:3107:35: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
assert(arg_action < ELEMENTSOF(action_table));
start_unit() is a little tangled. There's an easy part we can untangle,
then readers can concentrate on the more necessary complexity.
* Derive (method, action, mode) more clearly, as disjoint cases based on
the command. Don't rely on action_table[_ACTION_INVALID].target being
implicitly initialized to NULL.
verb_to_method() is now only used on one case, but not because I strongly
object to the implicit "StartUnit" cases. It's more a syntax problem.
I think the old code takes me longer to understand, because the call
comes just above a similar-looking call to verb_to_action(), but the
results of the two functions are used in different ways. It also helps
that the new code ends up having a more regular form, for the 4 different
cases.
These changes cost 6 extra lines.
* Add an assertion to confirm that we do not pass mode=NULL.
ACTION_EMERGENCY and ACTION_DEFAULT would be handled correctly by
start_with_fallback(). However there is no fallback available for
them, and they would never be set in `arg_action` in the first
place. Remove the unused cases from the switch statement.
@poettering suggested this makes a good place to clarify the point,
explicitly listing all the `arg_action` values which would never be
set.
There's no good reason to use `--wait` with ReloadOrRestartUnit, or
TryRestartUnit.
The message was also wrong in another sense. 'systemctl isolate'
starts units, but it did not support `--wait`. Although it's
unlikely anyone would want to do that in the first place.
Since busname units are only useful with kdbus, they weren't actively
used. This was dead code, only compile-tested. If busname units are
ever added back, it'll be cleaner to start from scratch (possibly reverting
parts of this patch).
systemctl link is the only systemctl verb that takes a filename (and not
a unit name) as argument
use path_strv_make_absolute_cwd to expand the provided filename in order
to make it easier to use from the command line
keep the absolute pathname requirement when --root is used
[zj: add explicit error messages for the cases of --root and plain filename
instead of skipping normalization and just relying on systemd to refuse
to link non-absolute arguments. This allows us to make the error message
more informative.]
It is useful to know when a timer will trigger next when looking at a
timer status message so calculate and print that information.

The escaping rules are a POSIX proposal, and are described in
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249. There's a lot of back-and-forth on
the details of escaping of control characters, but we'll be only using a small
subset of the syntax that is common to all proposals and is widely supported.
Unfortunately dash and fish and maybe some other shells do not support it (see
the man page patch for a list).
This allows environment variables to be safely exported using show-environment
and imported into the shell. Shells which do not support this syntax will have
to do something like
export $(systemctl show-environment|grep -v '=\$')
or whatever is appropriate in their case. I think csh and fish do not support
the A=B syntax anyway, so the change is moot for them.
Fixes#5536.
v2:
- also escape newlines (which currently disallowed in shell values, so this
doesn't really matter), and tabs (as $'\t'), and ! (as $'!'). This way quoted
output can be included directly in both interactive and noninteractive bash.
$ reboot -f

It seems that the warning on ENOENT was inadvertently introduced in
27c06cb516.
The warning reported in #5646 comes from systemctl, but let's fix the other
call site in the same way too.
Fixes#5646.
We used ENABLE_LOGIND for the automake conditional, and HAVE_LOGIND
for the ifdef. That wasn't wrong, but it certainly was confusing.
Also, move the ifdeffery to avoid warning about unused static function
logind_set_wall_message() when logind is disabled.
The hint is not too explicit, and just refers to the man page, because this
option is slightly dangereous. This was we don't have to discuss the limitation
in the hint itself.
Fixes#4002.
"systemctl --user edit --force --full tmp.mount" would crash, when we'd do
basename(NULL). Fix this by creating a new unit or a new override even if
not path is found.
Tested with:
systemctl --user edit --force --full tmp.mount
systemctl --user edit --force tmp.mount
systemctl --user edit foo@.service
systemctl --user edit foo@bar.service
systemctl --user edit --full foo@.service
systemctl --user edit --full foo@bar.service
