Sometimes the boot gets stuck until a timeout hits. The usual timeouts
are on the order of minutes, so users may lose patience.
Print animated status messages telling the names of units with running
jobs to make it easy to see what systemd is waiting for.
The animation looks cooler with a shorter interval, but 1 s is OK and
should not be too hard on slow serial console users.
Similar to already existing is_terminal_input().
Note that the only current user (connect_logger_as) is never called
for EXEC_OUTPUT_TTY, so it won't mind whether we accept it.
Like other status messages, this one too should not be printed
unconditionally, but it should take the manager state into account.
unit_status_printf() does that.
Take advantage of the fact that almost all callers want to pass unit
description as the last parameter. Those who don't can use the more
flexible manager_status_printf().
unit_status_printf() checks the state of the manager, not of the unit
as such. Move it to manager.c and rename it to manager_status_printf().
Temporarily keep unit_status_printf as a wrapper macro.
This introduces a new static list of known attributes and their special
semantics. This means that cgroup attribute values can now be
automatically translated from user to kernel notation for command line
set settings, too.
This also adds proper support for multi-line attributes.
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.
Logs written by journald from the initramfs may be written to a
directory with the name created from a random machine-id. Afterwards,
when the root filesystem has been mounted and machine-id reinitalized,
logs will be written to the directory with a name created from the
proper machine-id. When logs are flushed to /var/log/journal,
everything is copied to one output directory.
When journalctl without '-m' is run after the logs have been flushed
to /var/log/journal, all messages are shown. However, when run while
logs are still in /run/log/journal, those stored under the random
machine-id will not be shown.
Make journalctl behave the same regardless whether persistent storage
has been enabled or not, and slurp all files from /run/log/journal
even without '-m'.
The wildcard matching the default loader entry should always be able to point to
the same machine.
So instead of sorting by <distribution>-<kernel-version>-<machine-id>
we better sort by <machine-id>-<kernel-version>.
This reverts commit cb96a2c69a.
It is not a mistake to pass args when -b is specified. They will simply
be passed on to the container's init.
The manpage needs fixing, that's true.
