<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating
|
||
systems. When run as first process on boot (as PID 1), it acts as
|
||
init system that brings up and maintains userspace
|
||
services.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For compatibility with SysV, if systemd is called as
|
||
<command>init</command> and a PID that is not 1, it will execute
|
||
<command>telinit</command> and pass all command line arguments
|
||
unmodified. That means <command>init</command> and
|
||
<command>telinit</command> are mostly equivalent when invoked from
|
||
normal login sessions. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>telinit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for more information.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>When run as a system instance, systemd interprets the
|
||
configuration file <filename>system.conf</filename> and the files
|
||
in <filename>system.conf.d</filename> directories; when run as a
|
||
user instance, systemd interprets the configuration file
|
||
<filename>user.conf</filename> and the files in
|
||
<filename>user.conf.d</filename> directories. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

|

does the opposite, running a user instance even if the process

options, as systemd automatically detects the mode it is

started in. These options are hence of little use except for

debugging. Note that it is not supported booting and

maintaining a full system with systemd running in

passing <option>--system</option> explicitly is only useful in

<title>Concepts</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>systemd provides a dependency system between various
|
||
entities called "units" of 12 different types. Units encapsulate
|
||
various objects that are relevant for system boot-up and
|
||
maintenance. The majority of units are configured in unit
|
||
configuration files, whose syntax and basic set of options is
|
||
described in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
however some are created automatically from other configuration,
|
||
dynamically from system state or programmatically at runtime.
|
||
Units may be "active" (meaning started, bound, plugged in, ...,
|
||
depending on the unit type, see below), or "inactive" (meaning
|
||
stopped, unbound, unplugged, ...), as well as in the process of
|
||
being activated or deactivated, i.e. between the two states (these
|
||
states are called "activating", "deactivating"). A special
|
||
"failed" state is available as well, which is very similar to
|
||
"inactive" and is entered when the service failed in some way
|
||
(process returned error code on exit, or crashed, or an operation
|
||
timed out). If this state is entered, the cause will be logged,
|
||
for later reference. Note that the various unit types may have a
|
||
number of additional substates, which are mapped to the five
|
||
generalized unit states described here.</para>

|

|

</orderedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>Units are named as their configuration files. Some units
|
||
have special semantics. A detailed list is available in
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>systemd knows various kinds of dependencies, including
|
||
positive and negative requirement dependencies (i.e.
|
||
<varname>Requires=</varname> and <varname>Conflicts=</varname>) as
|
||
well as ordering dependencies (<varname>After=</varname> and
|
||
<varname>Before=</varname>). NB: ordering and requirement
|
||
dependencies are orthogonal. If only a requirement dependency
|
||
exists between two units (e.g. <filename>foo.service</filename>
|
||
requires <filename>bar.service</filename>), but no ordering
|
||
dependency (e.g. <filename>foo.service</filename> after
|
||
<filename>bar.service</filename>) and both are requested to start,
|
||
they will be started in parallel. It is a common pattern that both
|
||
requirement and ordering dependencies are placed between two
|
||
units. Also note that the majority of dependencies are implicitly
|
||
created and maintained by systemd. In most cases, it should be
|
||
unnecessary to declare additional dependencies manually, however
|
||
it is possible to do this.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Application programs and units (via dependencies) may
|
||
request state changes of units. In systemd, these requests are
|
||
encapsulated as 'jobs' and maintained in a job queue. Jobs may
|
||
succeed or can fail, their execution is ordered based on the
|
||
ordering dependencies of the units they have been scheduled
|
||
for.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>On boot systemd activates the target unit
|
||
<filename>default.target</filename> whose job is to activate
|
||
on-boot services and other on-boot units by pulling them in via
|
||
dependencies. Usually, the unit name is just an alias (symlink) for
|
||
either <filename>graphical.target</filename> (for fully-featured
|
||
boots into the UI) or <filename>multi-user.target</filename> (for
|
||
limited console-only boots for use in embedded or server
|
||
environments, or similar; a subset of graphical.target). However,
|
||
it is at the discretion of the administrator to configure it as an
|
||
alias to any other target unit. See
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
for details about these target units.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Processes systemd spawns are placed in individual Linux
|
||
control groups named after the unit which they belong to in the
|
||
private systemd hierarchy. (see <ulink
|
||
url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>
|
||
for more information about control groups, or short "cgroups").
|
||
systemd uses this to effectively keep track of processes. Control
|
||
group information is maintained in the kernel, and is accessible
|
||
via the file system hierarchy (beneath
|
||
<filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/</filename>), or in tools such as
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>systemd-cgls</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
or
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
(<command>ps xawf -eo pid,user,cgroup,args</command> is
|
||
particularly useful to list all processes and the systemd units
|
||
they belong to.).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>systemd is compatible with the SysV init system to a large
|
||
degree: SysV init scripts are supported and simply read as an
|
||
alternative (though limited) configuration file format. The SysV
|
||
<filename>/dev/initctl</filename> interface is provided, and
|
||
compatibility implementations of the various SysV client tools are
|
||
available. In addition to that, various established Unix
|
||
functionality such as <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> or the
|
||
<filename>utmp</filename> database are supported.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>systemd has a minimal transaction system: if a unit is
|
||
requested to start up or shut down it will add it and all its
|
||
dependencies to a temporary transaction. Then, it will verify if
|
||
the transaction is consistent (i.e. whether the ordering of all
|
||
units is cycle-free). If it is not, systemd will try to fix it up,
|
||
and removes non-essential jobs from the transaction that might
|
||
remove the loop. Also, systemd tries to suppress non-essential
|
||
jobs in the transaction that would stop a running service. Finally
|
||
it is checked whether the jobs of the transaction contradict jobs
|
||
that have already been queued, and optionally the transaction is
|
||
aborted then. If all worked out and the transaction is consistent
|
||
and minimized in its impact it is merged with all already
|
||
outstanding jobs and added to the run queue. Effectively this
|
||
means that before executing a requested operation, systemd will
|
||
verify that it makes sense, fixing it if possible, and only
|
||
failing if it really cannot work.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Systemd contains native implementations of various tasks
|
||
that need to be executed as part of the boot process. For example,
|
||
it sets the hostname or configures the loopback network device. It
|
||
also sets up and mounts various API file systems, such as
|
||
<filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/proc</filename>.</para>

|
