The previous behavior of systemctl --when= seems absurd, i.e.
if we fail to schedule shutdown in the future it's performed
immediately. Let's instead hard fail, which also removes the need
of specializing on certain errnos (preparation for later commits).
Update frameworks that work automatically in the background
occasionally need to schedule reboots. Systemd-logind already
provides a nice mechanism to schedule shutdowns, send notfications
and block logins short before the time. Systemd has a framework for
calendar events, so we may conveniently use logind to define a
maintenance time for reboots.
The existing ScheduleShutdown DBus method in logind expects a usec_t
with an absolute time. Passing USEC_INFINITY as magic value now tells
logind to take the time from the configured maintenance time if set.
"shutdown -r" leverages that and uses the maintenance time
automatically if configured. The one minute default is still used if
nothing was specified.
Similarly the new 'auto' setting for the --when parameter of systemctl
uses the maintenance time if configured or a one minute timer like the
shutdown command.
In the majority of cases, this is caused by
sleep_supported() returning error. Hence it's
very likely that it would fail again, so
the fallback is not really useful. Instead,
honor the --force option for these verbs.
Sometimes it makes sense to hard kill a client if we die. Let's hence
add a third FORK_DEATHSIG flag for this purpose: FORK_DEATHSIG_SIGKILL.
To make things less confusing this also renames FORK_DEATHSIG to
FORK_DEATHSIG_SIGTERM to make clear it sends SIGTERM. We already had
FORK_DEATHSIG_SIGINT, hence this makes things nicely symmetric.
A bunch of users are switched over for FORK_DEATHSIG_SIGKILL where we
know it's safe to abort things abruptly. This should make some kernel
cases more robust, since we cannot get confused by signal masks or such.
While we are at it, also fix a bunch of bugs where we didn't take
FORK_DEATHSIG_SIGINT into account in safe_fork()
In various tools and services we have a per-system and per-user concept.
So far we sometimes used a boolean indicating whether we are in system
mode, or a reversed boolean indicating whether we are in user mode, or
the LookupScope enum used by the lookup path logic.
Let's address that, in introduce a common enum for this, we can use all
across the board.
This is mostly just search/replace, no actual code changes.
(follow-up of #15958)
In #15958 we deprecated passing positional argument to reboot by
generate a warning. It's been two years now and I believe it can
be dropped completely, as per requested in #15773.
This normalizes naming of functions operating on BootConfig objects.
Let's always call them boot_config_xyz(), like our usual way to name
stuff.
moreover, move the BootConfig parameter to the beginning, as it's not a
return value (which we typically move to the end of the parameter list),
but simply an object, that even happens to be initialized already.
With these changes the functions are more like our usual way to call
things, and less surprises are good.
Let's clean up our function naming a bit, and always name the
verb_xyz(), where the xyz maps to the command line verb as closely as
possible.
No actual code changes, just an attempt to make the systemctl sources a
bit more systematic, and less surprising.
For shutdowns don't fall back to starting the target directly if talking
to logind failed with auth failure. That would just lead to another
polkit auth attempt.
This is just some refactoring: shifting around of code, not change in
codeflow.
This splits up the way too huge systemctl.c in multiple more easily
digestable files. It roughly follows the rule that each family of verbs
gets its own .c/.h file pair, and so do all the compat executable names
we support. Plus three extra files for sysv compat (which existed before
already, but I renamed slightly, to get the systemctl- prefix lik
everything else), a -util file with generic stuff everything uses, and a
-logind file with everything that talks directly to logind instead of
PID1.
systemctl is still a bit too complex for my taste, but I think this way
itc omes in a more digestable bits at least.
No change of behaviour, just reshuffling of some code.
