<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> is a generator
|
|
that reads the kernel command line and understands three
|
|
options:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <option>systemd.mask=</option> option is specified
|
|
and followed by a unit name, this unit is masked for the runtime,
|
|
similar to the effect of
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
|
<command>mask</command> command. This is useful to boot with
|
|
certain units removed from the initial boot transaction for
|
|
debugging system startup. May be specified more than once.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <option>systemd.wants=</option> option is specified
|
|
and followed by a unit name, a start job for this unit is added to
|
|
the initial transaction. This is useful to start one or more
|
|
additional units at boot. May be specified more than once.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <option>systemd.debug_shell</option> option is
|
|
specified, the debug shell service
|
|
<literal>debug-shell.service</literal> is pulled into the boot
|
|
transaction. It will spawn a debug shell on tty9 during early
|
|
system startup. Note that the shell may also be turned on
|
|
persistently by enabling it with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
|
<command>enable</command> command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> implements
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
