Hiding the first column, which may contain bullet circles, with --no-legend
is undocumented and potentially unexpected. On the other hand, not printing
bullet circles with --plain is documented so hiding the column with that
switch is sensible.
The combination "--full --no-legend --no-pager --plain" is appropriate for
automated processing of systemctl output.
No need to wait for a timeout when we know things are not going to work out.
When the main process goes away and only notifications from the main process are
accepted, then we will not receive any notifications anymore.
We stay in the SERVICE_START while no READY=1 notification message has
been received. When we are in the SERVICE_START_POST state, we have
already received a ready notification. Hence we should not fail when the
cgroup becomes empty in that state.
Before this commit, when the main process of a Type=notify service exits the
service would enter a running state without passing through the startup post
state. This meant ExecStartPost= from being executed and allowed follow-up
units to start too early (before the ready notification).
Additionally, when RemainAfterExit=yes is used on a Type=notify service, the
exit status of the main process would be disregarded.
After this commit, an unsuccessful exit of the main process of a Type=notify
service puts the unit in a failed state. A successful exit is inconsequential
in case RemainAfterExit=yes. Otherwise, when no ready notification has been
received, the unit is put in a failed state because it has never been active.
When all processes in the cgroup of a Type=notify service are gone and no ready
notification has been received yet, the unit is also put in a failed state.
Introduce a SERVICE_FAILURE_PROTOCOL error type for when a service does
not follow the protocol.
This error type is used when a pid file is expected, but not delivered.
By cleaning up before setting up PAM we maintain control of overriding
behavior in setting variables. Otherwise, pam_putenv is in control.
This also makes sure we use a cleaned up environment in replacing
variables in argv.
Move the merger of environment variables before setting up the PAM
session and pass the aggregate environment to PAM setup. This allows
control over the PAM session hooks through environment variables.
PAM session initiation may update the environment. On successful
initiation of a PAM session, we adopt the environment of the
PAM context.
