Currently, if [Install] section contains WantedBy=target that doesn't exist,
systemd creates the symlinks anyway. That is just user-unfriendly.
Let's be nice and warn about installing non-existent targets.
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1835351.
Replaces: #15834
Currently, there is no way to match against system-wide constants, such
as architecture or virtualization type, without forking helper binaries.
That potentially results in a huge number of spawned processes which
output always the same answer.
This patch introduces a special CONST keyword which takes a hard-coded
string as its key and returns a value assigned to that key. Currently
implemented are CONST{arch} and CONST{virt}, which can be used to match
against the system's architecture and virtualization type.
When inotify_add_watch() fails because of the inotify limit, errno is
set to ENOSPC and then gets shown to users as "No space left on device".
That is very confusing and requires in-depth knowledge of the C library.
Therefore, show user-friendly message when inotify limit is reached.
Fixes#6030.
1) mv /var/tmp /var/tmp.old
2) mkdir /tmp/varrr
3) ln -s /tmp/varrr /var/tmp
Now, when a service has PrivateTmp=yes, during namespace setup,
/tmp is first mounted over with a new mount. Then, when /var/tmp
is being resolved, it points to /tmp/varrr, which by then doesn't
exist, because it had already been obscured.
It may be desired by users to know what targets a particular service is
installed into. Improve user friendliness by teaching the is-enabled
command to show such information when used with --full.
This patch makes use of the newly added UnitFileFlags and adds
UNIT_FILE_DRY_RUN flag into it. Since the API had already been modified,
it's now easy to add the new dry-run feature for other commands as
well. As a next step, --dry-run could be added to systemctl, which in
turn might pave the way for a long requested dry-run feature when
running systemctl start.
Also introduce sd_journal_has_runtime_files() and
sd_journal_has_persistent_files() to the public API. These functions
can be used to easily find out if the open journal files are runtime
and/or persistent.
... to determine if color output should be enabled. If the variable is not set,
fall back to using on_tty(). Also, rewrite existing code to use
colors_enabled() where appropriate.
Enable unprivileged users to set wall message on a shutdown
operation. When the message is set via the --message option,
it is logged together with the default shutdown message.
$ systemctl reboot --message "Applied kernel updates."
$ journalctl -b -1
...
systemd-logind[27]: System is rebooting. (Applied kernel updates.)
...
Correctly support cases when the EDITOR environment variable and friends
also contain arguments. For example, to run emacs in terminal only, one
can say:
EDITOR="emacs -nw" systemctl edit myservice
The errors are prefixed with "libxkbcommon" to provide some context,
because they are quite confusing without it. With the prefix, we at
least know where they come from.
