Fixes: #23520
[zjs: I added the comment and tweaked the patch a bit.
The call to reset_scheduled_shutdown() is moved down a bit to allow the
callback to have access to information about the operation being cancelled.
This all happens within the same function, so there should be no observable
change in behaviour.]
I had a strange failure where the pager was hanging on invocation (gdm crashed
and the kernel got into a strange state where it was hanging on some tasks).
Based on the logs from 'SYSTEMCTL_LOG_LEVEL=debug journalctl', I couldn't even
tell which pager binary we're executing. So let's shorten the function a bit and
provide a bit more detail.
We had yet-another table of descriptive strings to use in error messages.
I started thinking how to synchronize them with the strings in logind, but
ultimately I think it's better to remove those altogether. Those strings
should almost never be used: normally if the call fails, logind will provide
an error message itself, which is probably more detailed than what we can
figure out on the client side. And the most important part that we want to
show here is what exactly we called, in particular RebootWithFlags vs. Reboot,
etc. By using the "descriptive strings" we were obfuscating this. So let's just
simplify our code and print the actual method name, since this is more useful
as an error statement that is googlable and unique.
While at it, let's print the correct method name ;)
Those messages simply *feel* dated: "The system is going for suspend NOW!".
Let's say "The system will suspend|power off|hibernate|… now!" instead.
The exclamation mark is enough to show the urgency.
Also, the "the" seemed out of place. We're not talking about a specific reboot.
Fixes#23520. Replaces #23555.
The problem started with cdf370626f and
90b1ec03b2 which together started printing the
wall message in more cases. The motivation for those change was reasonable, but
this clearly causes problems described in #23520: users are getting unexpected
wall messages. Xterm, urxvt, (anything using libutempter?), and tmux (in some
configurations), register local pty sessions in utmp.
So let's try to suppress the message for local pseudo-terminal logins. This
patch based on #23538, but instead of filtering just on /dev/pts, it uses the
.ut_addr_v6 to only filter out local entries.
utmpdump doesn't print all the details. Looking at the list if useful
when trying to tweak the wall filtering logic.
This doesn't do much, but at least it serves as a smoke test for the cleanup
functions.
