People still don't understand what the message implies.
We have to be more verbose (or more intelligent and detect some of the
cases automatically, but that's not so easy).

If 'systemctl enable' (and friends) is run inside chroot it always
exits with a bad return code. unit_file_enable() returns the number of
symlink rules that were supposed to be created. So resetting r to 0 and
exiting gracefully should be the correct way.
Given that "journalctl -u" exists now there's no need to duplicate this
functionality in systemctl, so let's drop this, especially given that it
always felt a bit awkward to overload "-f" to both --force and --follow,
and to have continues output with a status header for this.
systemctl status -f avahi-daemon
now becomes:
journalctl -fu avahi-daemon
Which is shorter and a lot less redundant.
a) Instead of parsing the bus messages inside of selinux-access.c
simply pass everything pre-parsed in the functions
b) implement the access checking with a macro that resolves to nothing
on non-selinux builds
c) split out the selinux checks into their own sources
selinux-util.[ch]
d) this unifies the job creation code behind the D-Bus calls
Manager.StartUnit() and Unit.Start().
Among other cleanups this introduces a threshold for the size of binary
blobs we serialize as integer arrays in the JSON output. THis can be
disabled via --all.
Systemctl would always return 1, because it treated uninteresting dbus
messages ("job added") as errors. Just ignore everything apart from
interesting ("job removed") messages.
Semantics are slightly different, because before unit_name_mangle
returning NULL was ignored, and now it is reported as oom. But
unit_name_mangle only returns NULL on oom.
Note: I did s/MANAGER/SYSTEMD/ everywhere, even though it makes the
patch quite verbose. Nevertheless, keeping MANAGER prefix in some
places, and SYSTEMD prefix in others would just lead to confusion down
the road. Better to rip off the band-aid now.
This splits the JSON output mode into different modes: json and
json-pretty. The former printing one entry per line, the latter showing
JSON objects nicely indented and in multiple lines to make it easier to
read for humans.
In some cases, like wrong configuration, restarting after error
does not help, so administrator can specify statuses by RestartPreventExitStatus
which will not cause restart of a service.
Sometimes you have non-standart exit status, so this can be specified
by SuccessfulExitStatus.
this method combines the folowing dbus calls and there error handling:
dbus_message_new_method_call()
dbus_message_append_args()
dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block()
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
It made no sense, and since we are documenting the bus calls now and
want to include them in our stability promise we really should get it
cleaned up sooner, not later.
E.g. systemctl --all -t masked gives the list of masked units.
The -t/--type option is reused. This is possible because unit types
and unit load states are called differently, so it is possible to
distinguish what the user meant. Using the same option also means that
the interface is user for the user: less options to remember.
