     <title>Description</title>

     <para><command>systemd-run</command> may be used create and start
     a transient <filename>.service</filename> or a
     <filename>.scope</filename> unit and run the specified
     <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> in it.</para>

     <para>If a command is run as transient service unit, it will be
     started and managed by the service manager like any other service,
     and thus show up in the output of <command>systemctl
     list-units</command> like any other unit. It will run in a clean
     and detached execution environment. <command>systemd-run</command>
     will start the service asynchronously in the background and
     immediately return.</para>

     <para>If a command is run as transient scope unit, it will be
     started directly by <command>systemd-run</command> and thus
     inherit the execution environment of the caller. It is however
     managed by the service manager similar to normal services, and
     will also show up in the output of <command>systemctl
     list-units</command>. Execution in this case is synchronous, and
     execution will return only when the command finishes.</para>
