<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Preset files may be used to encode policy which
|
|
units shall be enabled by default and which ones
|
|
shall be disabled. They are read by <command>systemctl
|
|
preset</command> (for more information see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
|
which uses this information to enable or disable a
|
|
unit according to preset policy. <command>systemctl
|
|
preset</command> is used by the post install
|
|
scriptlets of RPM packages (or other OS package formats),
|
|
to enable/disable specific units by default on package
|
|
installation, enforcing distribution, spin or
|
|
administrator preset policy. This allows choosing a certain
|
|
set of units to be enabled/disabled even before
|
|
installing the actual package.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For more information on the preset logic please
|
|
have a look at the <ulink
|
|
url="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Preset">Presets</ulink>
|
|
document.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is not recommended to ship preset files
|
|
within the respective software packages implementing
|
|
the units, but rather centralize them in a
|
|
distribution or spin default policy, which can be
|
|
amended by administrator policy.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If no preset files exist, <command>systemctl
|
|
preset</command> will enable all units that are
|
|
installed by default. If this is not desired and all
|
|
units shall rather be disabled it is necessary to ship
|
|
a preset file with a single, catchall
|
|
"<filename>disable *</filename>" line. (See example 1,
|
|
below.)</para>

|
<title>Preset File Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The preset files contain a list of
|
|
directives consisting of either the word
|
|
<literal>enable</literal> or
|
|
<literal>disable</literal> followed by a space and a
|
|
unit name (possibly with shell style wildcards),
|
|
separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
|
|
first non-whitespace character is # or ; are
|
|
ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Two different directives are understood:
|
|
<literal>enable</literal> may be used to enable units
|
|
by default, <literal>disable</literal> to disable
|
|
units by default.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If multiple lines apply to a unit name the
|
|
first matching one takes precedence over all
|
|
others.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each preset file shall be named in the style of
|
|
<filename><priority>-<program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the
|
|
same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages
|
|
should install their preset files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
|
|
preset files installed by vendor packages. All preset
|
|
files are sorted by their filename in alphabetical
|
|
order, regardless in which of the directories they
|
|
reside, to guarantee that a specific preset file takes
|
|
precedence over another file with an alphabetically
|
|
earlier name, if both files contain lines that apply
|
|
to the same unit names. It is recommended to prefix
|
|
all file names with two-digit number, to simplify
|
|
ordering.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a preset
|
|
file supplied by the vendor the recommended way is to
|
|
place a symlink to <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/systemd/system-preset/</filename>
|
|
bearing the same file name.</para>

<title>Example</title>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>Default off example <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/99-default.preset</filename>:</title>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>disable *</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>This disables all units. Due to the file name
|
|
prefix <literal>99-</literal> it will be read last and
|
|
hence can easily be overridden by spin or
|
|
administrator preset policy or suchlike.</para>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>A GNOME spin example <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/50-gnome.preset</filename>:</title>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>enable gdm.service
|
|
enable colord.service
|
|
enable accounts-daemon.service
|
|
enable avahi-daemon.*</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>This enables the three mentioned units, plus all
|
|
<filename>avahi-daemon</filename> regardless of which
|
|
unit type. A file like this could be useful for
|
|
inclusion in a GNOME spin of a distribution. It will
|
|
ensure that the units necessary for GNOME are properly
|
|
enabled as they are installed. It leaves all other
|
|
units untouched, and subject to other (later) preset
|
|
files, for example like the one from the first example
|
|
above.</para>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>Administrator policy <filename>/etc/systemd/system-preset/00-lennart.preset</filename>:</title>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>enable httpd.service
|
|
enable sshd.service
|
|
enable postfix.service
|
|
disable *</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<para>This enables three specific services and
|
|
disables all others. This is useful for administrators
|
|
to specifically select the units to enable, and
|
|
disable all others. Due to the file name prefix
|
|
<literal>00-</literal> it will be read early and hence
|
|
overrides all other preset policy files.</para>
