This reverts commit 4a01181e46.
This patch broke LOG_TARGET_AUTO, i.e. automatic selection of STDERR if
it is a TTY with a fallback on the journal and kmsg otherwise.
The general rule should probably be:
log_open() -- open the "best" possible logging channel according to
log_target configuration.
log_dispatch() -- don't open any log channels ever, with the exception
of kmsg since that has no drawbacks. And do this only on true errors of
the better log channel, not just when it wasn't opened.
write_to_journal() returns 0 if journal_fd is closed and nothing is
written. We need to make sure we'll try log_open_kmsg() then to make the
fallback work for "journal-or-kmsg".
[zj: Reworded message s/to watch/to add watch on/ to make it clear
that it was the watch init action that failed, and not the
"process of watching". I think this way it'll be clearer to
people who don't know what inotify does.]
The current code might make sense during startup for service restart
limiting:
With burst=1 after starting num is 1, so the next ('first') restart is
still accepted ( 1 <= 1). However, once interval has expired, num is 1
after the first restart, so the second restart is also accepted.
This change is also useful in combination with watchdogs:
With burst=1 and a very large interval the system can be restarted on
the first failure.
This unifies much of the logic behind them:
- All four will now ofllow the rule that the earlier file and earlier
assignment in the .d/ directories wins. Before, sysctl was the only
outlier, where the later setting always won.
- All four now support getopt() and --help on the command line.
- All four can now handle specification of configuration file names on
the command line to apply. The tools will automatically find them, and
apply them. Previously only tmpfiles could do that. This is useful for
%post scripts in RPMs and suchlike.
- This fixes various error path issues in conf_files_list()
Inner library calls should not invoke log_oom(), that's something for
main programs, not library calls.
Don't read through uninitialized memory if a file ends in a continuation
line.
Add comments for the non-obvious bits.
Don't choke on comment lines that are continuation lines.
Simplify some things.
Now, actually check if the environment variable names and values used
are valid, before accepting them. With this in place are at some places
more rigid than POSIX, and less rigid at others. For example, this code
allows lower-case environment variables (which POSIX suggests not to
use), but it will not allow non-UTF8 variable values.
All in all this should be a good middle ground of what to allow and what
not to allow as environment variables.
(This also splits out all environment related calls into env-util.[ch])
I can't find a reason why we shouldn't try to output messages for other
unit types than .service, .socket, .mount and .swap as well. It's probably
a leftover from before we started logging UNIT= from inside PID 1.
The ability to start a new unit with 'systemctl start ...' should not
depend on whether there are other units in the directory. Previously,
an additional 'systemctl daemon-reload' would be necessary to tell
systemd to update the list of unit lookup paths.
This allows one templated unit to refer to another templated unit
at installation time.
Examples:
> grep WantedBy ~/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer
WantedBy=services@%i.target
> srv disable mpop@iit.timer
rm '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'
> srv enable mpop@iit.timer
ln -s '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer' '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'
