| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in |
| <filename>.service</filename> encodes information |
| about a process controlled and supervised by |
| systemd.</para> |
| |
| <para>This man page lists the configuration options |
| specific to this unit type. See |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| for the common options of all unit configuration |
| files. The common configuration items are configured |
| in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and |
| <literal>[Install]</literal> sections. The service |
| specific configuration options are configured in the |
| <literal>[Service]</literal> section.</para> |
| |
| <para>Additional options are listed in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, |
| which define the execution environment the commands |
| are executed in, and in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| which define the way the processes of the service are |
| terminated.</para> |
| |
| <para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> |
| is set to <option>false</option>, service units will |
| implicitly have dependencies of type |
| <varname>Requires=</varname> and |
| <varname>After=</varname> on |
| <filename>basic.target</filename> as well as |
| dependencies of type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and |
| <varname>Before=</varname> on |
| <filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure |
| that normal service units pull in basic system |
| initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to |
| system shutdown. Only services involved with early |
| boot or late system shutdown should disable this |
| option.</para> |
| |
| <para>If a service is requested under a certain name |
| but no unit configuration file is found, systemd looks |
| for a SysV init script by the same name (with the |
| <filename>.service</filename> suffix removed) and |
| dynamically creates a service unit from that |
| script. This is useful for compatibility with |
| SysV. Note that this compatibility is quite |
| comprehensive but not 100%. For details about the |
| incomptibilities see the <ulink |
| url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Incompatibilities">Incompatibilities |
| with SysV</ulink> document. |

| <title>Options</title> |
| |
| <para>Service files must include a |
| <literal>[Service]</literal> section, which carries |
| information about the service and the process it |
| supervises. A number of options that may be used in |
| this section are shared with other unit types. These |
| options are documented in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| and |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The |
| options specific to the <literal>[Service]</literal> |
| section of service units are the following:</para> |
| |
| <variablelist> |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>Type=</varname></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Configures the process |
| start-up type for this service |
| unit. One of <option>simple</option>, |
| <option>forking</option>, |
| <option>oneshot</option>, |
| <option>dbus</option>, |
| <option>notify</option> or |
| <option>idle</option>.</para> |
| |
| <para>If set to |
| <option>simple</option> (the default |
| value if <varname>BusName=</varname> |
| is not specified) it is expected that |
| the process configured with |
| <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the |
| main process of the service. In this |
| mode, if the process offers |
| functionality to other processes on |
| the system its communication channels |
| should be installed before the daemon |
| is started up (e.g. sockets set up by |
| systemd, via socket activation), as |
| systemd will immediately proceed |
| starting follow-up units.</para> |
| |
| <para>If set to |
| <option>forking</option> it is |
| expected that the process configured |
| with <varname>ExecStart=</varname> |
| will call <function>fork()</function> |
| as part of its start-up. The parent process is |
| expected to exit when start-up is |
| complete and all communication |
| channels set up. The child continues |
| to run as the main daemon |
| process. This is the behaviour of |
| traditional UNIX daemons. If this |
| setting is used, it is recommended to |
| also use the |
| <varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so |
| that systemd can identify the main |
| process of the daemon. systemd will |
| proceed starting follow-up units as |
| soon as the parent process |
| exits.</para> |
| |
| <para>Behaviour of |
| <option>oneshot</option> is similar |
| to <option>simple</option>, however |
| it is expected that the process has to |
| exit before systemd starts follow-up |
| units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> |
| is particularly useful for this type |
| of service.</para> |
| |
| <para>Behaviour of |
| <option>dbus</option> is similar to |
| <option>simple</option>, however it is |
| expected that the daemon acquires a |
| name on the D-Bus bus, as configured |
| by |
| <varname>BusName=</varname>. systemd |
| will proceed starting follow-up units |
| after the D-Bus bus name has been |
| acquired. Service units with this |
| option configured implicitly gain |
| dependencies on the |
| <filename>dbus.socket</filename> |
| unit. This type is the default if |
| <varname>BusName=</varname> is |
| specified.</para> |
| |
| <para>Behaviour of |
| <option>notify</option> is similar to |
| <option>simple</option>, however it is |
| expected that the daemon sends a |
| notification message via |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| or an equivalent call when it finished |
| starting up. systemd will proceed |
| starting follow-up units after this |
| notification message has been sent. If |
| this option is used |
| <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> (see |
| below) should be set to open access to |
| the notification socket provided by |
| systemd. If |
| <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> is |
| not set, it will be implicitly set to |
| <option>main</option>.</para> |
| |
| <para>Behaviour of |
| <option>idle</option> is very similar |
| to <option>simple</option>, however |
| actual execution of a the service |
| binary is delayed until all jobs are |
| dispatched. This may be used to avoid |
| interleaving of output of shell |
| services with the status output on the |
| console.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Takes a boolean value |
| that specifies whether the service |
| shall be considered active even when |
| all its processes exited. Defaults to |
| <option>no</option>.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>GuessMainPID=</varname></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Takes a boolean value |
| that specifies whether systemd should |
| try to guess the main PID of a service |
| should if it cannot be determined |
| reliably. This option is ignored |
| unless <option>Type=forking</option> |
| is set and <option>PIDFile=</option> |
| is unset because for the other types |
| or with an explicitly configured PID |
| file the main PID is always known. The |
| guessing algorithm might come to |
| incorrect conclusions if a daemon |
| consists of more than one process. If |
| the main PID cannot be determined |
| failure detection and automatic |
| restarting of a service will not work |
| reliably. Defaults to |
| <option>yes</option>.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>PIDFile=</varname></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Takes an absolute file |
| name pointing to the PID file of this |
| daemon. Use of this option is |
| recommended for services where |
| <varname>Type=</varname> is set to |
| <option>forking</option>. systemd will |
| read the PID of the main process of |
| the daemon after start-up of the |
| service. systemd will not write to the |
| file configured here.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>BusName=</varname></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Takes a D-Bus bus |
| name, where this service is reachable |
| as. This option is mandatory for |
| services where |
| <varname>Type=</varname> is set to |
| <option>dbus</option>, but its use |
| is otherwise recommended as well if |
| the process takes a name on the D-Bus |
| bus.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><varname>ExecStart=</varname></term> |
| <listitem><para>Takes a command line |
| that is executed when this service |
| shall be started up. The first token |
| of the command line must be an |
| absolute file name, then followed by |
| arguments for the process. It is |
| mandatory to set this option for all |
| services. This option may not be |
| specified more than once, except when |
| <varname>Type=oneshot</varname> is |
| used in which case more than one |
| <varname>ExecStart=</varname> line is |
| accepted which are then invoked one by |
| one, sequentially in the order they |
| appear in the unit file.</para> |
| |
| <para>Optionally, if the absolute file |
| name is prefixed with |
| <literal>@</literal>, the second token |
| will be passed as |
| <literal>argv[0]</literal> to the |
| executed process, followed by the |
| further arguments specified. If the |
| first token is prefixed with |
| <literal>-</literal> an exit code of |
| the command normally considered a |
| failure (i.e. non-zero exit status or |
| abnormal exit due to signal) is ignored |
| and considered success. If both |
| <literal>-</literal> and |
| <literal>@</literal> are used for the |
| same command the former must precede |
| the latter. Unless |
| <varname>Type=forking</varname> is |
| set, the process started via this |
| command line will be considered the |
| main process of the daemon. The |
| command line accepts % specifiers as |
| described in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> |
| |
| <para>On top of that basic environment |
| variable substitution is |
| supported. Use |
| <literal>${FOO}</literal> as part of a |
| word, or as word of its own on the |
| command line, in which case it will be |
| replaced by the value of the |
| environment variable including all |
| whitespace it contains, resulting in a |
| single argument. Use |
| <literal>$FOO</literal> as a separate |
| word on the command line, in which |
| case it will be replaced by the value |
| of the environment variable split up |
| at whitespace, resulting in no or more |
| arguments. Note that the first |
| argument (i.e. the program to execute) |
| may not be a variable, and must be a |
| literal and absolute path |
| name.</para></listitem> |

| than 5 times within 10s are not |
| permitted to start any more times |
| until the 10s interval ends. With |
| these two options this rate limiting |
| may be modified. Use |
| <varname>StartLimitInterval=</varname> |
| to configure the checking interval |
| (defaults to 10s, set to 0 to disable |
| any kind of rate limiting). Use |
| <varname>StartLimitBurst=</varname> to |
| configure how many starts per interval |
| are allowed (defaults to 5). These |
| configuration options are particularly |
| useful in conjunction with |
| <varname>Restart=</varname>, however |
| apply to all kinds of starts |
| (including manual), not just those |
| triggered by the |
| <varname>Restart=</varname> logic. |
| Note that units which are configured |
| for <varname>Restart=</varname> and |
| which reach the start limit are not |
| attempted to be restarted anymore, |
| however they may still be restarted |
| manually at a later point from which |
| point on the restart logic is again |
| activated. Note that |
| <command>systemctl |
| reset-failed</command> will cause the |
| restart rate counter for a service to |
| be flushed, which is useful if the |
| administrator wants to manually start |
| a service and the start limit |
| interferes with |
| that.</para></listitem> |
