We would accept e.g. FailureAction=reboot-force in user units and then do an
exit in the user manager. Let's be stricter, and define "exit"/"exit-force" as
the only supported actions in user units.
v2:
- rename 'exit' to 'exit-force' and add new 'exit'
- add test for the parsing function
FailureAction=/SuccessAction= were added later then StartLimitAction=, so it
was easiest to refer to the existing description. But those two settings are
somewhat simpler (they just execute the action unconditionally) while
StartLimitAction= has additional timing and burst parameters, and they are
about to take on a more prominent role, so let's move the description of
allowed values.
The term “positive” is often read to exclude 0 (though “strictly
positive” is sometimes used to clarify this), so let’s explicitly state
that --lines=0 is legal and completely disables journal output.

These man pages list references to the various sd_event_add_xyz() calls
at the bottom, but sd_event_add_inotify() was never added there.
Moreover, some list references to sd_event_add_post() and
sd_event_add_exit() even though these have shared man pages with
sd_event_add_defer(), and given that the "SEE ALSO" section should
probably reference pages instead of functions let's drop this.
Then, let's always specify the sd_event_add_xyz() calls in the same
order.
Finally, in the sd_event_new(3) text explaining the basic logic,
actually mention sd_event_add_post() and sd_event_add_exit() as well, as
in that case we actually want to list functions, not man pages.
Also, while we are at it, beef it up, by adding json-seq support (i.e.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464). This is particularly useful in
conjunction with jq's --seq switch.
A new switch "-j" or "--json=" is added which transforms dbus
marshalling into json. This is extremely useful in combination with
tools such as "jq" to process bus calls further.
Until a core dump handler is installed by systemd-sysctl, the generation of
core dump for services is turned OFF which can make the debugging of the early
boot process harder especially since there's no easy way to restore the core
dump generation.
This patch introduces a new kernel command line option which specifies an
absolute path where the kernel should write the core dump file when an early
process crashes.
This will take effect until systemd-coredump (or any other handlers) takes
over.
let's add an env var for this, as this really shouldn't be a top-level
feature, as it turning off the validity checks certainly isn't
advisable.
Fixes: #4925
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf gains four new switches:
AllowSuspend=, AllowHibernation=, AllowSuspendThenHibernate=, AllowHybridSleep=.
Disabling specific modes was already possible by masking suspend.target,
hibernate.target, suspend-then-hibernate.target, or hybrid-sleep.target.
But this is not convenient for distributions, which want to set some defaults
based on what they want to support. Having those available as configuration
makes it easy to put a config file in /usr/lib/systemd/sleep.conf.d/ that
overrides the defaults and gives instructions how to undo that override.
The behaviour described *was* observed on Fedora 28
(systemd-238-9.git0e0aa59), with and without SELinux. I don't actually
know why though! It contradicts my understanding of the code, including an
explicit comment in the code.
Testing in a VM upgraded to v239-792-g1327f272d, this behaviour goes away.
Test case:
# /etc/systemd/system/mount-test.service
[Service]
MountFlags=shared
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ls -l /proc/1/ns/mnt /proc/self/ns/mnt
ExecStart=/usr/bin/grep ext4 /proc/self/mountinfo
Weird old behaviour: new mount namespace but / is fully shared.

It is very useful for distributions to be able to set a primary
documentation URL in a standard location so that users and
applications on the system can identify it. For example, many
headless systems these days use the "Cockpit" admin console. It
would be ideal if we could specify this location directly in the
os-release file so that any application or service could have a
well-known location for retrieving this and displaying it
appropriately. Users could likewise examine /etc/os-release to
learn this location.

Let's remove redundancy and not advertise "journalctl --new-id128"
anymore, now that we have "systemd-id128 new" in a proper tool.
This allows us to reduce the overly large journalctl command set a bit.
Note that this just removes the --help and man text, the call remains
available for compat reasons.
The raison d'etre for this program is printing machine-app-specific IDs. We
provide a library function for that, but not a convenient API. We can hardly
ask people to quickly hack their own C programs or call libsystemd through CFFI
in python or another scripting language if they just want to print an ID.
Verb 'new' was already available as 'journalctl --new-id128', but this makes
it more discoverable.
v2:
- rename binary to systemd-id128
- make --app-specific= into a switch that applies to boot-id and machine-id
Allows configuring the watchdog signal (with a default of SIGABRT).
This allows an alternative to SIGABRT when coredumps are not desirable.
Appropriate references to SIGABRT or aborting were renamed to reflect
more liberal watchdog signals.
Closes#8658
This is an implementation that covers making errors encountered when writing
file content optionally fatal. If this is something that folks would want I'll
add handling of this for all the other directives. I'd appreciate suggestions
on how this might better be structured as well (use of a goto fail or such) as
I'm not super happy with the approach.
This changes the output a bit, as the previous multi-line output of each
inhibitor is changed to a single line, but it does unify the output look
with the one of our other tools. Moreover this adds proper sorting.
RFC 7084, WPD-4, requires Customer Edge end routers to behave
according to the following:
"WPD-4: By default, the IPv6 CE router MUST initiate DHCPv6 prefix
delegation when either the M or O flags are set to 1 in a
received Router Advertisement (RA) message. Behavior of the
CE router to use DHCPv6 prefix delegation when the CE router
has not received any RA or received an RA with the M and the
O bits set to zero is out of scope for this document."
Since it cannot be automatically detected whether DHCPv6 is to be
operated as an CE end router or whether to initiate an Informational
exchange to obtain other useful network information via DHCPv6 when the
Router Advertisement 'O' bit is set, a 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation'
boolean network configuration option in the '[DHCP]' section of a is
introduced. Setting this option causes DHCPv6 to be started in stateful
mode, although only the 'O' bit is seen in the Router Advertisement.
When 'ForceDHCPv6PDOtherInformation' is set and the Router Advertisement
has only the Other information 'O' bit set, disable requests for IA_NA
addresses.
Fixes#9745.
That recommendation is likely to cause more trouble and for pretty
much all end-user units is not useful. Let's recommend relying on
the implicit dependency instead.
Fixes#10015.
