The .service extension - can be omitted if there are no other unit files with the same name, - such as .socket files (which create a listening socket that provides - similar functionality to inetd/xinetd).</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Working with the Systemd Journal</title> - - <para>Logging on a system booted with systemd is handled with - systemd-journald (by default), rather than a typical unix syslog daemon. - You can also add a normal syslog daemon and have both work side by - side if desired. The systemd-journald program stores journal entries in a - binary format rather than a plain text log file. To assist with - parsing the file, the command <command>journalctl</command> is provided. - Here are some examples of frequently used commands:</para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para><command>journalctl -r</command>: shows all contents of the - journal in reverse chronological order.</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><command>journalctl -u <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable></command>: - shows the journal entries associated with the specified UNIT - file.</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><command>journalctl -b[=ID] -r</command>: shows the journal - entries since last successful boot (or for boot ID) in reverse - chronological order.</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><command>journalctl -f</command>: povides functionality similar - to tail -f (follow).</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Working with Core Dumps</title> - - <para>Core dumps are useful to debug crashed programs, especially - when a daemon process crashes. On systemd booted systems the core - dumping is handled by <command>systemd-coredump</command>. It will - log the core dump into the journal and store the core dump itself in - <filename class="directory">/var/lib/systemd/coredump</filename>. - To retrieve and process core dumps, <command>coredumpctl</command> - tool is provided.

The maximum disk space - used by core dumps can be limited by creating a configuration file in - <filename class="directory">/etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d</filename>. - For example:</para> - -<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d - -cat > /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/maxuse.conf << EOF -<literal>[Coredump] -MaxUse=5G</literal> -EOF</userinput></screen> - - <para>See <filename>systemd-coredump(8)</filename>, - <filename>coredumpctl(1)</filename>, and - <filename>coredump.conf.d(5)</filename> manual pages for more - information.</para> - </sect2> - - <sect2> - <title>Long Running Processes</title> - - <para>Beginning with systemd-230, all user processes are killed when a user - session is ended, even if nohup is used, or the process uses the - <function>daemon()</function> or <function>setsid()</function> functions. - This is a deliberate change from a historically permissive environment to a - more restrictive one. The new behavior may cause issues if you depend on - long running programs (e.g., <command>screen</command> or - <command>tmux</command>) to remain active after ending your user session. - There are three ways to enable lingering processes to remain after a user - session is ended.</para> - - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Enable process lingering for only selected users</emphasis>: - Normal users have permission to enable process lingering - with the command <command>loginctl enable-linger</command> for their - own user. System administrators can use the same command with a - <parameter>user</parameter> argument to enable for a user. That user - can then use the <command>systemd-run</command> command to start - long running processes. For example: <command>systemd-run --scope - --user /usr/bin/screen</command>. If you enable lingering for your - user, the user@.service will remain even after all login sessions are - closed, and will automatically start at system boot. This has the - advantage of explicitly allowing and disallowing processes to run - after the user session has ended, but breaks backwards compatibility - with tools like <command>nohup</command> and utilities that use - <function>deamon()</function>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Enable system-wide process lingering</emphasis>: - You can set <parameter>KillUserProcesses=no</parameter> in - <filename>/etc/systemd/logind.conf</filename> to enable process lingering - globally for all users. This has the benefit of leaving the old - method available to all users at the expense of explicit control. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <emphasis>Disable at build-time</emphasis>: You can enable - lingering by default while building systemd by adding the switch - <parameter>-Ddefault-kill-user-processes=false</parameter> to the - <command>meson</command> command for systemd. This completely - disables the ability of systemd to kill user processes at session - end. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - </sect2> - -</sect1> |
