| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><option>--job-mode=</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When queuing a new job, this option controls how to deal with |
| already queued jobs. It takes one of <literal>fail</literal>, |
| <literal>replace</literal>, |
| <literal>replace-irreversibly</literal>, |
| <literal>isolate</literal>, |
| <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal>, |
| <literal>ignore-requirements</literal> or |
| <literal>flush</literal>. Defaults to |
| <literal>replace</literal>, except when the |
| <command>isolate</command> command is used which implies the |
| <literal>isolate</literal> job mode.</para> |
| |
| <para>If <literal>fail</literal> is specified and a requested |
| operation conflicts with a pending job (more specifically: |
| causes an already pending start job to be reversed into a stop |
| job or vice versa), cause the operation to fail.</para> |
| |
| <para>If <literal>replace</literal> (the default) is |
| specified, any conflicting pending job will be replaced, as |
| necessary.</para> |
| |
| <para>If <literal>replace-irreversibly</literal> is specified, |
| operate like <literal>replace</literal>, but also mark the new |
| jobs as irreversible. This prevents future conflicting |
| transactions from replacing these jobs (or even being enqueued |
| while the irreversible jobs are still pending). Irreversible |
| jobs can still be cancelled using the <command>cancel</command> |
| command.</para> |
| |
| <para><literal>isolate</literal> is only valid for start |
| operations and causes all other units to be stopped when the |
| specified unit is started. This mode is always used when the |
| <command>isolate</command> command is used.</para> |
| |
| <para><literal>flush</literal> will cause all queued jobs to |
| be canceled when the new job is enqueued.</para> |
| |
| <para>If <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal> is specified, |
| then all unit dependencies are ignored for this new job and |
| the operation is executed immediately. If passed, no required |
| units of the unit passed will be pulled in, and no ordering |
| dependencies will be honored. This is mostly a debugging and |
| rescue tool for the administrator and should not be used by |
| applications.</para> |
| |
| <para><literal>ignore-requirements</literal> is similar to |
| <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal>, but only causes the |
| requirement dependencies to be ignored, the ordering |
| dependencies will still be honoured.</para> |

| <term><option>-i</option></term> |
| <term><option>--ignore-inhibitors</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When system shutdown or a sleep state is requested, |
| ignore inhibitor locks. Applications can establish inhibitor |
| locks to avoid that certain important operations (such as CD |
| burning or suchlike) are interrupted by system shutdown or a |
| sleep state. Any user may take these locks and privileged |
| users may override these locks. If any locks are taken, |
| shutdown and sleep state requests will normally fail |
| (regardless of whether privileged or not) and a list of active locks |
| is printed. However, if <option>--ignore-inhibitors</option> |
| is specified, the locks are ignored and not printed, and the |
| operation attempted anyway, possibly requiring additional |
| privileges.</para> |

| <listitem> |
| <para>Do not synchronously wait for the requested operation |

| <varlistentry> |
| <term><option>--no-ask-password</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When used with <command>start</command> and related |
| commands, disables asking for passwords. Background services |
| may require input of a password or passphrase string, for |
| example to unlock system hard disks or cryptographic |
| certificates. Unless this option is specified and the |
| command is invoked from a terminal, |
| <command>systemctl</command> will query the user on the |
| terminal for the necessary secrets. Use this option to |
| switch this behavior off. In this case, the password must be |
| supplied by some other means (for example graphical password |
| agents) or the service might fail. This also disables |
| querying the user for authentication for privileged |
| operations.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| |
| </varlistentry> |
| |
| <varlistentry> |
| <term><option>--kill-who=</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When used with <command>kill</command>, choose which |
| processes to send a signal to. Must be one of |
| <option>main</option>, <option>control</option> or |
| <option>all</option> to select whether to kill only the main |
| process, the control process or all processes of the |
| unit. The main process of the unit is the one that defines |
| the life-time of it. A control process of a unit is one that |
| is invoked by the manager to induce state changes of it. For |
| example, all processes started due to the |
| <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>, |
| <varname>ExecStop=</varname> or |
| <varname>ExecReload=</varname> settings of service units are |
| control processes. Note that there is only one control |
| process per unit at a time, as only one state change is |
| executed at a time. For services of type |
| <varname>Type=forking</varname> the initial process started |
| by the manager for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is a |
| control process, while the process ultimately forked off by |
| that one is then considered the main process of the unit (if |
| it can be determined). This is different for service units |
| of other types, where the process forked off by the manager |
| for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is always the main process |
| itself. A service unit consists of no or one main process, |
| no or one control process plus any number of additional |
| processes. Not all unit types manage processes of these |
| types however. For example for mount units control processes |
| are defined (which are the invocations of |
| <filename>/usr/bin/mount</filename> and |
| <filename>/usr/bin/umount</filename>), but no main process |
| is defined. If omitted, defaults to |
| <option>all</option>.</para> |

| <varlistentry> |
| <term><option>-s</option></term> |
| <term><option>--signal=</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When used with <command>kill</command>, choose which |
| signal to send to selected processes. Must be one of the |
| well known signal specifiers such as <constant>SIGTERM</constant>, <constant>SIGINT</constant> or |
| <constant>SIGSTOP</constant>. If omitted, defaults to |
| <option>SIGTERM</option>.</para> |

| <term><option>--force</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>When used with <command>enable</command>, overwrite |
| any existing conflicting symlinks.</para> |
| |
| <para>When used with <command>halt</command>, |
| <command>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command> or |
| <command>kexec</command>, execute the selected operation |
| without shutting down all units. However, all processes will |
| be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or |
| remounted read-only. This is hence a drastic but relatively |
| safe option to request an immediate reboot. If |
| <option>--force</option> is specified twice for these |
| operations, they will be executed immediately without |
| terminating any processes or unmounting any file |
| systems. Warning: specifying <option>--force</option> twice |
| with any of these operations might result in data |
| loss.</para> |

| <listitem> |
| <para>When used with <command>enable</command>, |

| that they are lost on the next reboot. This will have the |
| effect that changes are not made in subdirectories of |
| <filename>/etc</filename> but in <filename>/run</filename>, |
| with identical immediate effects, however, since the latter |
| is lost on reboot, the changes are lost too.</para> |
| |
| <para>Similarly, when used with |

| <listitem> |
| <para>List socket units ordered by listening address. |

| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>Start (activate) one or more units specified on the |
| command line.</para> |
| |
| <para>Note that glob patterns operate on a list of currently |
| loaded units. Units which are not active and are not in a |
| failed state usually are not loaded, and would not be |
| matched by any pattern. In addition, in case of |
| instantiated units, systemd is often unaware of the |

| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>Asks all units listed on the command line to reload |

| service-specific configuration, not the unit configuration |
| file of systemd. If you want systemd to reload the |
| configuration file of a unit, use the |
| <command>daemon-reload</command> command. In other words: |
| for the example case of Apache, this will reload Apache's |
| <filename>httpd.conf</filename> in the web server, not the |
| <filename>apache.service</filename> systemd unit |
| file.</para> |

| |
| <listitem> |
| <para>Enable one or more unit files or unit file instances, |
| as specified on the command line. This will create a number |
| of symlinks as encoded in the <literal>[Install]</literal> |
| sections of the unit files. After the symlinks have been |
| created, the systemd configuration is reloaded (in a way that |
| is equivalent to <command>daemon-reload</command>) to ensure |
| the changes are taken into account immediately. Note that |
| this does <emphasis>not</emphasis> have the effect of also |
| starting any of the units being enabled. If this |
| is desired, a separate <command>start</command> command must |
| be invoked for the unit. Also note that in case of instance |
| enablement, symlinks named the same as instances are created in |
| the install location, however they all point to the same |
| template unit file.</para> |
| |
| <para>This command will print the actions executed. This |
| output may be suppressed by passing <option>--quiet</option>. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>Note that this operation creates only the suggested |
| symlinks for the units. While this command is the |
| recommended way to manipulate the unit configuration |
| directory, the administrator is free to make additional |
| changes manually by placing or removing symlinks in the |
| directory. This is particularly useful to create |
| configurations that deviate from the suggested default |
| installation. In this case, the administrator must make sure |
| to invoke <command>daemon-reload</command> manually as |
| necessary to ensure the changes are taken into account. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>Enabling units should not be confused with starting |
| (activating) units, as done by the <command>start</command> |
| command. Enabling and starting units is orthogonal: units |
| may be enabled without being started and started without |
| being enabled. Enabling simply hooks the unit into various |
| suggested places (for example, so that the unit is |
| automatically started on boot or when a particular kind of |
| hardware is plugged in). Starting actually spawns the daemon |
| process (in case of service units), or binds the socket (in |
| case of socket units), and so on.</para> |
| |
| <para>Depending on whether <option>--system</option>, |
| <option>--user</option>, <option>--runtime</option>, |
| or <option>--global</option> is specified, this enables the unit |
| for the system, for the calling user only, for only this boot of |
| the system, or for all future logins of all users, or only this |
| boot. Note that in the last case, no systemd daemon |
| configuration is reloaded.</para> |

| additions), not just those actually created by |
| <command>enable</command>. This call implicitly reloads the |
| systemd daemon configuration after completing the disabling |
| of the units. Note that this command does not implicitly |
| stop the units that are being disabled. If this is desired, |

| <listitem> |
| <para>Switches to a different root directory and executes a |
| new system manager process below it. This is intended for |
| usage in initial RAM disks ("initrd"), and will transition |
| from the initrd's system manager process (a.k.a "init" |
| process) to the main system manager process. This call takes two |
| arguments: the directory that is to become the new root directory, and |
| the path to the new system manager binary below it to |
| execute as PID 1. If the latter is omitted or the empty |
| string, a systemd binary will automatically be searched for |
| and used as init. If the system manager path is omitted or |
| equal to the empty string, the state of the initrd's system |
| manager process is passed to the main system manager, which |
| allows later introspection of the state of the services |
| involved in the initrd boot.</para> |

| <title>Parameter Syntax</title> |
| |
| <para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name |
| (designated as <replaceable>NAME</replaceable>), or multiple |
| unit specifications (designated as |
| <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>...). In the first case, the |
| unit name with or without a suffix must be given. If the suffix |
| is not specified, systemctl will append a suitable suffix, |
| <literal>.service</literal> by default, and a type-specific |
| suffix in case of commands which operate only on specific unit |
| types. For example, |
| <programlisting># systemctl start sshd</programlisting> and |
| <programlisting># systemctl start sshd.service</programlisting> |
| are equivalent, as are |
| <programlisting># systemctl isolate snapshot-11</programlisting> |
| and |
| <programlisting># systemctl isolate snapshot-11.snapshot</programlisting> |
| Note that (absolute) paths to device nodes are automatically |
| converted to device unit names, and other (absolute) paths to |
| mount unit names. |
| <programlisting># systemctl status /dev/sda |
| # systemctl status /home</programlisting> |
| are equivalent to: |
| <programlisting># systemctl status dev-sda.device |
| # systemctl status home.mount</programlisting> |
| In the second case, shell-style globs will be matched against |
| currently loaded units; literal unit names, with or without |
| a suffix, will be treated as in the first case. This means that |
| literal unit names always refer to exactly one unit, but globs |
| may match zero units and this is not considered an error.</para> |
| |
| <para>Glob patterns use |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fnmatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, |
| so normal shell-style globbing rules are used, and |
| <literal>*</literal>, <literal>?</literal>, |
| <literal>[]</literal> may be used. See |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glob</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> |
| for more details. The patterns are matched against the names of |
| currently loaded units, and patterns which do not match anything |
| are silently skipped. For example: |
| <programlisting># systemctl stop sshd@*.service</programlisting> |
| will stop all <filename>sshd@.service</filename> instances. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>For unit file commands, the specified |
| <replaceable>NAME</replaceable> should be the full name of the |
| unit file, or the absolute path to the unit file: |
| <programlisting># systemctl enable foo.service</programlisting> |
| or |
| <programlisting># systemctl link /path/to/foo.service</programlisting> |
