+ Before starting a unit
+ verify that the specified condition is
+ true. With
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ a file existence condition can be
+ checked before a unit is started. If
+ the specified absolute path name does
+ not exist, startup of a unit will not
+ actually happen, however the unit is
+ still useful for ordering purposes in
+ this case. The condition is checked at

+ executed. If the absolute path name
+ passed to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ is prefixed with an exclamation mark
+ (!), the test is negated, and the unit
+ is only started if the path does not
+ exist.
+ ConditionPathExistsGlob=
+ works in a similar way, but checks for
+ the existence of at least one file or
+ directory matching the specified
+ globbing
+ pattern. ConditionPathIsDirectory=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether a certain path
+ exists and is a
+ directory. ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether a certain path
+ exists and is a symbolic
+ link. ConditionPathIsMountPoint=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether a certain path
+ exists and is a mount
+ point. ConditionPathIsReadWrite=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether the underlying
+ file system is read and writable
+ (i.e. not mounted
+ read-only). ConditionFileIsExecutable=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether a certain path
+ exists, is a regular file and marked
+ executable.
+ ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=
+ is similar to
+ ConditionPathExists=
+ but verifies whether a certain path
+ exists and is a non-empty
+ directory. Similarly
+ ConditionKernelCommandLine=
+ may be used to check whether a
+ specific kernel command line option is
+ set (or if prefixed with the
+ exclamation mark unset). The argument
+ must either be a single word, or an
+ assignment (i.e. two words, separated
+ by the equality sign). In the former
+ case the kernel command line is
+ searched for the word appearing as is,
+ or as left hand side of an
+ assignment. In the latter case the
+ exact assignment is looked for with
+ right and left hand side
+ matching. ConditionVirtualization=
+ may be used to check whether the
+ system is executed in a virtualized
+ environment and optionally test
+ whether it is a specific
+ implementation. Takes either boolean
+ value to check if being executed in
+ any virtualized environment, or one of
+ vm and
+ container to test
+ against a specific type of
+ virtualization solution, or one of
+ qemu,
+ kvm,
+ vmware,
+ microsoft,
+ oracle,
+ xen,
+ bochs,
+ chroot,
+ openvz,
+ lxc,
+ lxc-libvirt,
+ systemd-nspawn to
+ test against a specific
+ implementation. If multiple
+ virtualization technologies are nested
+ only the innermost is considered. The
+ test may be negated by prepending an
+ exclamation mark.
+ ConditionSecurity=
+ may be used to check whether the given
+ security module is enabled on the
+ system. Currently the only recognized
+ value is selinux.
+ The test may be negated by prepending
+ an exclamation
+ mark. ConditionCapability=
+ may be used to check whether the given
+ capability exists in the capability
+ bounding set of the service manager
+ (i.e. this does not check whether
+ capability is actually available in
+ the permitted or effective sets, see
+ capabilities7
+ for details). Pass a capability name
+ such as CAP_MKNOD,
+ possibly prefixed with an exclamation
+ mark to negate the check. Finally,
+ ConditionNull= may
+ be used to add a constant condition
+ check value to the unit. It takes a
+ boolean argument. If set to
+ false the condition
+ will always fail, otherwise
+ succeed. If multiple conditions are
+ specified the unit will be executed if
+ all of them apply (i.e. a logical AND
+ is applied). Condition checks can be
+ prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) in
+ which case a condition becomes a
+ triggering condition. If at least one
+ triggering condition is defined for a
+ unit then the unit will be executed if
+ at least one of the triggering
+ conditions apply and all of the
+ non-triggering conditions. If you
+ prefix an argument with the pipe
+ symbol and an exclamation mark the
+ pipe symbol must be passed first, the
+ exclamation second. Except for
+ ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=,
+ all path checks follow
+ symlinks.
