systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV
|
|
|
|
|
|
and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization
|
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
|
|
|
|
|
|
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state,
|
|
|
|
|
|
maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate
|
|
|
|
|
|
transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
drop-in replacement for sysvinit. For more information, watch the video

systemd has very comprehensive documentation. Refer to

Boot Kernel Command Line
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On boot *systemd* activates (by default), the target unit
|
|
|
|
|
|
_default.target_ whose job is to activate services and other units by
|
|
|
|
|
|
pulling them in via dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To override the unit to activate, *systemd* parses its own kernel
|
|
|
|
|
|
command line arguments via the `systemd.unit=` command line option. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
may be used to temporarily boot into a different boot unit. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
classical run-levels are replaced as following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`systemd.unit=rescue.target` is a special target unit for setting up the
|
|
|
|
|
|
base system and a rescue shell (similar to run level 1);
|
|
|
|
|
|
`systemd.unit=emergency.target`, is very similar to passing
|
|
|
|
|
|
`init=/bin/sh` but with the option to boot the full system from there;
|
|
|
|
|
|
`systemd.unit=multi-user.target` for setting up a non-graphical
|
|
|
|
|
|
multi-user system; `systemd.unit=graphical.target` for setting up a
|
|
|
|
|
|
graphical login screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

What is the tool to manage services with systemd?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl is the primary tool to use. It combines the functionality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
both service and chkconfig into a single tool that you can use for
|
|
|
|
|
|
instance to enable/disable services permanently or only for the current
|
|
|
|
|
|
session.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
list all running services etc:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to man systemctl for more details. systemd-cgls lists the running
|
|
|
|
|
|
process in a tree format. It can recursively show the content of any
|
|
|
|
|
|
given control group. Refer to man systemd-cgls for more details.

How do I start/stop or enable/disable services?
|
|
|
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl start foo
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deactivates a service immediately:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restarts a service:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl restart foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shows status of a service including whether it is running or not:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl status foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enables a service to be started on bootup:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Disables a service to not start during bootup:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl disable foo
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl mask foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check whether a service is already enabled or not:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl is-enabled foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

[[how-do-i-change-the-target-runlevel]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do I change the target (runlevel)?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemd has the concept of targets which is a more flexible replacement
|
|
|
|
|
|
for runlevels in sysvinit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run level 3 is emulated by multi-user.target. Run level 5 is emulated by
|
|
|
|
|
|
graphical.target. runlevel3.target is a symbolic link to
|
|
|
|
|
|
multi-user.target and runlevel5.target is a symbolic link to
|
|
|
|
|
|
graphical.target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can switch to 'runlevel 3' by running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can switch to 'runlevel 5' by running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl isolate graphical.target

[[how-do-i-change-the-default-target]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do I change the default target?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl set-default <name of target>.target
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graphical.target is the default. You might want multi-user.target for
|
|
|
|
|
|
the equivalent of non graphical (runlevel 3) from sysv init. The full
|
|
|
|
|
|
list of targets can be accessed via systemctl list-units --type=target
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemd does not use /etc/inittab file.

[[how-to-power-off-the-machine]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to power off the machine?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
poweroff
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some more possibilities are: `halt -p`, `init 0`, `shutdown -P now`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that `halt` used to work the same as `poweroff` in previous Fedora
|
|
|
|
|
|
releases, but systemd distinguishes between the two, so `halt` without
|
|
|
|
|
|
parameters now does exactly what it says - it merely stops the system
|
|
|
|
|
|
without turning it off.

[[does-service-command-work-with-systemd]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Does service command work with systemd?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. It has been modified to call systemctl automatically when dealing
|
|
|
|
|
|
with systemd service files. So either of the following commands does the
|
|
|
|
|
|
same thing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl stop NetworkManager
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(or)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
service NetworkManager stop
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[does-chkconfig-command-work-with-systemd]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Does chkconfig command work with systemd?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, for turning on/off services, compatibility has been provided both
|
|
|
|
|
|
ways. chkconfig has been modified to call systemctl when dealing with
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemd service files. Also systemctl automatically calls chkconfig when
|
|
|
|
|
|
dealing with a traditional sysv init file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So either of the following commands does the same thing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl disable NetworkManager
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(or)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
chkconfig NetworkManager off
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chkconfig --list doesn't list systemd services, only Sys V services. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
output of chkconfig takes note of this, along with supplying additional
|
|
|
|
|
|
information.

The simplest way is to edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
([http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/logind.conf.html#NAutoVTs=
|
|
|
|
|
|
man page]):
|
|
|
|

....
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Login]
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
NAutoVTs=8
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This setting will take effect after reboot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, getty@.services which open the login prompt can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
enabled and started individually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To add another getty:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable getty@tty8
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl start getty@tty8
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To remove a getty:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl disable getty@tty8
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl stop getty@tty8
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemd does not use /etc/inittab file.

How do I set automatic login on a virtual console terminal?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First create a new service similar to getty@.service:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cp /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service \
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ln -s /etc/systemd/system/autologin@.service \
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty8.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then edit ExecStart, Restart and Alias values, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=-/sbin/mingetty --autologin USERNAME %I
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restart=no
|
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alias=getty.target.wants/getty@tty8.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and finally reload daemon and start the service:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemctl start getty@tty8.service
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that if you exit tty8 session, you wont be able to use it until
|
|
|
|
|
|
next reboot or manual start by systemctl, except if you leave Restart as
|
|
|
|
|
|
‘always’, but I highly recommend to avoid this according to security
|
|
|
|
|
|
reasons.

How do I customize a unit file/ add a custom unit file?
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best way to customize unit files is to add
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/*.conf where foobar.service is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
name of the service you want to customize. If a directory doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
|
already exist, create one and drop a conf file with the settings you
|
|
|
|
|
|
want to override. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/restart.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
|
|
|
|
RestartSec=30
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to man
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html[systemd.unit]
|
|
|
|
|
|
page for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special care must be taken when overriding options which can be set
|
|
|
|
|
|
muliple times (`ExecStart`, `ExecStartPre`, `ExecStartPost` are a common
|
|
|
|
|
|
example). Assigning some value to the option _appends_ to the existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
list, while assiging the _empty_ value _resets_ the list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, let's say we have a service file like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/echo execstart1
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/echo execstart2
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStartPost=/bin/echo post1
|
|
|
|
|
|
ExecStartPost=/bin/echo post2
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When started, this service will print
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
execstart2
|
|
|
|
|
|
post1
|
|
|
|
|
|
post2
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same rules apply to snippets in `.d` directories. This means that
|
|
|
|
|
|
snippets which override `ExecStart` and similar settings, often should
|
|
|
|
|
|
start with the empty assignment `ExecStart=`, followed by the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
setting.
