  61
  62                 <para>This man page lists the configuration options
  63                 specific to this unit type. See
  64                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
  65                 for the common options of all unit configuration
  66                 files. The common configuration items are configured
  67                 in the generic <literal>[Unit]</literal> and
  68                 <literal>[Install]</literal> sections. The service
  69                 specific configuration options are configured in the
  70                 <literal>[Service]</literal> section.</para>
  71
  72                 <para>Additional options are listed in
  73                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

  77                 which define the way the processes of the service are

  82
  83                 <para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
  84                 is set to <option>false</option>, service units will
  85                 implicitly have dependencies of type

  87                 <varname>After=</varname> on
  88                 <filename>basic.target</filename> as well as

  90                 <varname>Before=</varname> on
  91                 <filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
  92                 that normal service units pull in basic system
  93                 initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
  94                 system shutdown. Only services involved with early
  95                 boot or late system shutdown should disable this
  96                 option.</para>
  97
  98                 <para>If a service is requested under a certain name
  99                 but no unit configuration file is found, systemd looks
 100                 for a SysV init script by the same name (with the
 101                 <filename>.service</filename> suffix removed) and
 102                 dynamically creates a service unit from that
 103                 script. This is useful for compatibility with
 104                 SysV. Note that this compatibility is quite
 105                 comprehensive but not 100%. For details about the

 147                                 <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the
 148                                 main process of the service. In this
 149                                 mode, if the process offers
 150                                 functionality to other processes on
 151                                 the system, its communication channels
 152                                 should be installed before the daemon
 153                                 is started up (e.g. sockets set up by
 154                                 systemd, via socket activation), as
 155                                 systemd will immediately proceed
 156                                 starting follow-up units.</para>

 158                                 <para>If set to
 159                                 <option>forking</option>, it is

 162                                 will call <function>fork()</function>
 163                                 as part of its start-up. The parent process is
 164                                 expected to exit when start-up is
 165                                 complete and all communication
 166                                 channels are set up. The child continues
 167                                 to run as the main daemon
 168                                 process. This is the behavior of
 169                                 traditional UNIX daemons. If this
 170                                 setting is used, it is recommended to
 171                                 also use the
 172                                 <varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so
 173                                 that systemd can identify the main
 174                                 process of the daemon. systemd will
 175                                 proceed with starting follow-up units
 176                                 as soon as the parent process
 177                                 exits.</para>
 178
 179                                 <para>Behavior of
 180                                 <option>oneshot</option> is similar
 181                                 to <option>simple</option>; however,
 182                                 it is expected that the process has to
 183                                 exit before systemd starts follow-up
 184                                 units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname>
 185                                 is particularly useful for this type
 186                                 of service.</para>
 187
 188                                 <para>Behavior of
 189                                 <option>dbus</option> is similar to
 190                                 <option>simple</option>; however, it is
 191                                 expected that the daemon acquires a
 192                                 name on the D-Bus bus, as configured
 193                                 by
 194                                 <varname>BusName=</varname>. systemd
 195                                 will proceed with starting follow-up
 196                                 units after the D-Bus bus name has been
 197                                 acquired. Service units with this
 198                                 option configured implicitly gain
 199                                 dependencies on the
 200                                 <filename>dbus.socket</filename>
 201                                 unit. This type is the default if

 204
 205                                 <para>Behavior of
 206                                 <option>notify</option> is similar to
 207                                 <option>simple</option>; however, it is
 208                                 expected that the daemon sends a
 209                                 notification message via
 210                                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
 211                                 or an equivalent call when it has finished
 212                                 starting up. systemd will proceed with
 213                                 starting follow-up units after this
 214                                 notification message has been sent. If
 215                                 this option is used,
 216                                 <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> (see
 217                                 below) should be set to open access to
 218                                 the notification socket provided by
 219                                 systemd. If
 220                                 <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> is
 221                                 not set, it will be implicitly set to
 222                                 <option>main</option>. Note that
 223                                 currently
 224                                 <varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option>
 225                                 will not work if used in combination with

 227
 228                                 <para>Behavior of

 232                                 binary is delayed until all jobs are
 233                                 dispatched. This may be used to avoid
 234                                 interleaving of output of shell
