This mirrors --property, and is generally useful.
New functionality is used in bash completion.
In case of zsh completion, new functionality is less useful
because of caching. Nevertheless, zsh completion for restart
is made to behave more-or-less the same as bash completion.
At least sockets can be restarted.
It is faster to use a bash built-in, then to invoke an external
program. The problem of unit names starting with a dash is solved
by prepending a space. Spaces are ignored anyway.
For zsh, replace echo "$unit", which is vulnerable to dashes,
with echo " $unit".
Split the large bash completion script into separate, smaller files each
named after the binary it is used for and move the files to
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions. This way the completions can be
loaded on demand and we only install the completions for the tools we
actually build. The old path /etc/bash_completion.d/ is deprecated and
will disappear in the future.
The approach taken is different between the two:
- since there are many files in /usr, but messages appear
only for a tiny subset, the completion is performed
only for stuff shown by journalctl -F _EXE. This makes
sense because the list is already in proper form.
- since it is hard to convert _KERNEL_DEVICE to device
file name, simply all files in /dev/ are used as possible
completions.
Unfortunately zsh completion requires more work and is not
covered by this commit.
Adds is-failed to join is-active and is-enabled.
I grabbed this one from the todo list. Most of the functionality was
already there for is-active. I just needed to make check_one_unit take
the states to check for as an argument instead of the hardcoded
"active" and "reloading".
is-failed will return 1 if none of the units given are failed. This is
different from is-active which will return 3 if none of the units
given are active. It returns 3 with this comment:
/* According to LSB: "program is not running" */
As that does not make sense when looking for failed units I simply
chose 1 instead.
Sometimes it is better to see messages in full, and the existing
set of options didn't allow this easily. E.g. now
journalctl -f --full
will behave like
tail -f /var/log/messages
of yore.
Long option only for now, since small letters are becoming
scarce, and this doesn't feel like a capital-letter-option.
'-u' would be nice, and the above command would be spelled
journalctl -fu
