All Execs within the service, will get mounted the same
/tmp and /var/tmp directories, if service is configured with
PrivateTmp=yes. Temporary directories are cleaned up by service
itself in addition to systemd-tmpfiles. Directory which is mounted
as inaccessible is created at runtime in /run/systemd.
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.
Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
Hi all,
while working on another bug, I discovered the "strange" way systemd is
parsing Environment= in .service and thought it was worth documenting
(because I don't expect people to find this syntax by themselves unless
they read the parsing code ;)
Be more verbose about using space in Environment field and not
using value of other variables

[zj: expand and reformat the example a bit]
Variable definitions can be written on more than one line - if each ends
with a backslash, then is concatenated with a previous one. Only
backslash and unix end of line (\n) are treated as a continuation.
Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58083
[zj: squashed two patches together; cleaned up grammar; removed
comment about ignoring trailing backslash -- it is not ignored.]
Document continuation support in systemd.exec
A service that only sets the scheduling policy to round-robin
fails to be started. This is because the cpu_sched_priority is
initialized to 0 and is not adjusted when the policy is changed.
Clamp the cpu_sched_priority when the scheduler policy is set. Use
the current policy to validate the new priority.
Change the manual page to state that the given range only applies
to the real-time scheduling policies.
Add a testcase that verifies this change:
$ make test-sched-prio; ./test-sched-prio
[test/sched_idle_bad.service:6] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 1
[test/sched_rr_bad.service:7] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 0
[test/sched_rr_bad.service:8] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 100
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd.
So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became
baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before
in my English-mother-tongue life.
Some quick Googling turned up a reference:
<http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html>
I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but
English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used
exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g.
"the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-,
respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence
"Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and
sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker.
This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and
replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully,
grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing
"resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably
just do in the future.
The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I
don't feel privileged to correct.

- don't use pivot_root() anymore, just reuse root hierarchy
- first create all mounts, then mark them read-only so that we get the
right behaviour when people want writable mounts inside of
read-only mounts
- don't pass invalid combinations of MS_ constants to the kernel
This also ensures that caps dropped from the bounding set are also
dropped from the inheritable set, to be extra-secure. Usually that should
change very little though as the inheritable set is empty for all our uses
anyway.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
systemctl
loginctl
journalctl
For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
systemd-systemctl → systemctl
systemd-loginctl → loginctl
systemd-journalctl → journalctl
We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
stay the way they are.
If a device node is specified, then adjust the bandwidth/weight of it,
otherwise find the backing block device of the file system the path
refers to and adjust its bandwidth/weight.
Explicitly disconnect all clients from a VT when a getty starts/finishes
(requires TIOCVHANGUP, available in 2.6.29).
Explicitly deallocate getty VTs in order to flush scrollback buffer.
Explicitly reset terminals to a defined state before spawning getty.
This replaces OOMAdjust= by OOMScoreAdjust= in the config files,
breaking compatibility with older unit files. However, this keeps compat
with older kernels which lack the new OOM rework.
