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.
Closes#5738.

Also called "ANSI-C Quoting" in info:(bash) ANSI-C Quoting.
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
This adds a unified "copy_flags" parameter to all copy_xyz() function
calls, replacing the various boolean flags so far used. This should make
many invocations more readable as it is clear what behaviour is
precisely requested. This also prepares ground for adding support for
more modes later on.
And then show it, to make things a bit friendlier to the user if we fail
acquiring some props.
In fact, this fixes a number of actual bugs, where we used an error
structure for output that we actually never got an error in.
Essentially, instead of sequentially adding deps based on all symlinks
encountered in .wants and .requires dirs for each name and each unit file load
path, iteratate over the load paths and unit names gathering symlinks, then
order them based on priority, and then iterate over the final list, adding
dependencies.
This patch doesn't change the logic too much, except that the order in which
dependencies are applied might be different. It wasn't defined before, so that
not really a change. Adding filtering on the symlinks is left for later
patches.
"systemctl show -pUnknown <service>" used to exit with '0' even if the property
passed by '-p' doesn't exist. But since commit 3dced37b7c (v231+),
it exits with a failure status.
"systemctl show" is supposed to be scriptable and therefore its behavior is
supposed to be stable.
This patch restores the old behavior on which a couple of scripts already rely
now.
Also when the requested property doesn't exist, it always logs it at the debug
level since this part of the code is only used by the show command.
Fixes: #5118
The general rule is:
- code in shared/ should take an "original_root" argument (possibly NULL)
and pass it along down to chase_symlinks
- code in core/ should always use specify original_root==NULL, since we
don't support running the manager from non-root directory
- code in systemctl and other tools should pass arg_root.
For any code that is called from tools which support --root, chase_symlinks
must be used to look up paths.
'systemctl --failed' is an extremely common operation and it's nice to have
a shortcut for it.
Revert "man: don't document systemctl --failed" and add the option back to
systemctl's help and shell completion scripts.
This reverts commit 036359ba8d.
A fixed value (6 and later 5) was added back in 4deb3b9391, and
not updated when load_len was added later on.
Also the other 5 with 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 to make it easier to see
that this is about the column separators.
When a unit is part of several dependency constraints of another
unit, list-dependencies repeats the name of the dependency for each
dep constraint the unit is encountered.
For example:
$ systemctl cat test-main.target
# /etc/systemd/system/test-main.target
[Unit]
Description=Main Target
$ systemctl cat test.target
[Unit]
Description=Sub target
PartOf=test-main.target
[Install]
WantedBy=test-main.target
$ systemctl enable test.target
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/test-main.target.wants/test.target to /etc/systemd/system/test.target.
$ systemctl show test-main.target | grep test.target
Wants=test.target
ConsistsOf=test.target
[...]
$ systemctl list-dependencies test-main.target
test-main.target
● ├─test.target
● └─test.target
With this patch applied, dependencies are shown only once.
Core was generated by `systemctl cat test@.target test@.service'.

The right behaviour is not easy in this case. Implement some "sensible" logic.
Fixes#4912.
Let's remove chase_symlinks_prefix() and instead introduce a flags parameter to
chase_symlinks(), with a flag CHASE_PREFIX_ROOT that exposes the behaviour of
chase_symlinks_prefix().
