60 | <para>List units that <command>systemd</command> currently has in memory. This includes units that are | |
61 | either referenced directly or through a dependency, units that are pinned by applications programmatically, | |
62 | or units that were active in the past and have failed. By default only units which are active, have pending | |
63 | jobs, or have failed are shown; this can be changed with option <option>--all</option>. If one or more | |
64 | <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>s are specified, only units matching one of them are shown. The units | |
65 | that are shown are additionally filtered by <option>--type=</option> and <option>--state=</option> if those | |
66 | options are specified.</para> | |

68 | <para>Note that this command does not show unit templates, but only instances of unit |
69 | templates. Units templates that aren't instantiated are not runnable, and will thus never show up | |
70 | in the output of this command. Specifically this means that <filename>foo@.service</filename> | |
71 | will never be shown in this list — unless instantiated, e.g. as | |
72 | <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>. Use <command>list-unit-files</command> (see below) for | |
73 | listing installed unit template files.</para> | |

230 | <para>Show runtime status information about the whole system or about one or more units followed |
231 | by most recent log data from the journal. If no positional arguments are specified, and no unit | |
232 | filter is given with <option>--type=</option>, <option>--state=</option>, or | |
233 | <option>--failed</option>, shows the status of the whole system. If combined with | |
234 | <option>--all</option>, follows that with the status of all units. If positional arguments are | |
235 | specified, each positional argument is treated as either a unit name to show, or a glob pattern | |
236 | to show units whose names match that pattern, or a PID to show the unit containing that PID. When | |
237 | <option>--type=</option>, <option>--state=</option>, or <option>--failed</option> are used, units | |
238 | are additionally filtered by the TYPE and ACTIVE state.</para> | |

240 | <para>This function is intended to generate human-readable output. If you are looking for |
241 | computer-parsable output, use <command>show</command> instead. By default, this function only | |
242 | shows 10 lines of output and ellipsizes lines to fit in the terminal window. This can be changed | |
243 | with <option>--lines</option> and <option>--full</option>, see above. In addition, | |
244 | <command>journalctl --unit=<replaceable>NAME</replaceable></command> or <command>journalctl | |
245 | --user-unit=<replaceable>NAME</replaceable></command> use a similar filter for messages and might | |
246 | be more convenient.</para> | |
247 | ||
1374f5a0 | 248 | <para>Note that this operation only displays <emphasis>runtime</emphasis> status, i.e. information about |
157cb433 LP |
249 | the current invocation of the unit (if it is running) or the most recent invocation (if it is not |
250 | running anymore, and has not been released from memory). Information about earlier invocations, | |
251 | invocations from previous system boots, or prior invocations that have already been released from | |
252 | memory may be retrieved via <command>journalctl --unit=</command>.</para> | |
253 | ||
254 | <para>systemd implicitly loads units as necessary, so just running the <command>status</command> | |
255 | will attempt to load a file. The command is thus not useful for determining if something was | |
256 | already loaded or not. The units may possibly also be quickly unloaded after the operation is | |
257 | completed if there's no reason to keep it in memory thereafter.</para> | |

280 | <para>The dot ("●") uses color on supported terminals to summarize the unit state at a |
281 | glance. Along with its color, its shape varies according to its state: | |
282 | <literal>inactive</literal> or <literal>maintenance</literal> is a white circle ("○"), | |
283 | <literal>active</literal> is a green dot ("●"), <literal>deactivating</literal> is a white dot, | |
284 | <literal>failed</literal> or <literal>error</literal> is a red cross ("×"), and | |
285 | <literal>reloading</literal> is a green clockwise circle arrow ("↻").</para> | |
286 | ||
287 | <para>The "Loaded:" line in the output will show <literal>loaded</literal> if the unit has been | |
288 | loaded into memory. Other possible values for "Loaded:" include: <literal>error</literal> if | |
289 | there was a problem loading it, <literal>not-found</literal> if no unit file was found for this | |
290 | unit, <literal>bad-setting</literal> if an essential unit file setting could not be parsed and | |
291 | <literal>masked</literal> if the unit file has been masked. Along with showing the path to the | |
292 | unit file, this line will also show the enablement state. Enabled units are included in the | |
293 | dependency network between units, and thus are started at boot or via some other form of | |
294 | activation. See the full table of possible enablement states — including the definition of | |
295 | <literal>masked</literal> — in the documentation for the <command>is-enabled</command> command. | |

298 | <para>The "Active:" line shows active state. The value is usually <literal>active</literal> or | |
0c772b1c LP |
299 | <literal>inactive</literal>. Active could mean started, bound, plugged in, etc depending on the |
300 | unit type. The unit could also be in process of changing states, reporting a state of | |
301 | <literal>activating</literal> or <literal>deactivating</literal>. A special | |
302 | <literal>failed</literal> state is entered when the service failed in some way, such as a crash, | |
303 | exiting with an error code or timing out. If the failed state is entered the cause will be logged | |
304 | for later reference.</para> | |

320 | ||
321 | <para>Many properties shown by <command>systemctl show</command> map directly to configuration settings of | |
322 | the system and service manager and its unit files. Note that the properties shown by the command are | |
323 | generally more low-level, normalized versions of the original configuration settings and expose runtime | |
324 | state in addition to configuration. For example, properties shown for service units include the service's | |
325 | current main process identifier as <literal>MainPID</literal> (which is runtime state), and time settings | |
326 | are always exposed as properties ending in the <literal>…USec</literal> suffix even if a matching | |
327 | configuration options end in <literal>…Sec</literal>, because microseconds is the normalized time unit used | |

770 | <para>Enable one or more units or unit instances. This will create a set of symlinks, as encoded in the | |
bdac5608 | 771 | [Install] sections of the indicated unit files. After the symlinks have been created, |
e1fac8a6 ZJS |
772 | the system manager configuration is reloaded (in a way equivalent to <command>daemon-reload</command>), in |
773 | order to ensure the changes are taken into account immediately. Note that this does | |
774 | <emphasis>not</emphasis> have the effect of also starting any of the units being enabled. If this is | |
775 | desired, combine this command with the <option>--now</option> switch, or invoke <command>start</command> | |
776 | with appropriate arguments later. Note that in case of unit instance enablement (i.e. enablement of units of | |
777 | the form <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>), symlinks named the same as instances are created in the | |
778 | unit configuration directory, however they point to the single template unit file they are instantiated | |
779 | from.</para> | |

781 | <para>This command expects either valid unit names (in which case various unit file directories are |
782 | automatically searched for unit files with appropriate names), or absolute paths to unit files (in which | |
783 | case these files are read directly). If a specified unit file is located outside of the usual unit file | |
784 | directories, an additional symlink is created, linking it into the unit configuration path, thus ensuring | |
785 | it is found when requested by commands such as <command>start</command>. The file system where the linked | |
786 | unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started (e.g. anything underneath | |
3b121157 | 787 | <filename>/home/</filename> or <filename>/var/</filename> is not allowed, unless those directories are |

797 | below this directory. This is particularly useful to create configurations that deviate from the suggested | |
798 | default installation. In this case, the administrator must make sure to invoke | |
799 | <command>daemon-reload</command> manually as necessary, in order to ensure the changes are taken into | |

809 | places (for example, so that the unit is automatically started on boot or when a particular kind of | |

1574 | to the path to the systemd binary, the state of the initrd's system manager process is passed to | |
1575 | the main system manager, which allows later introspection of the state of the services involved | |

1626 | <para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name (designated as <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>), |
1627 | or multiple unit specifications (designated as <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>…). In the first case, the | |
1628 | unit name with or without a suffix must be given. If the suffix is not specified (unit name is "abbreviated"), | |
1629 | systemctl will append a suitable suffix, <literal>.service</literal> by default, and a type-specific suffix in | |
1630 | case of commands which operate only on specific unit types. For example, | |
1631 | <programlisting># systemctl start sshd</programlisting> and | |
1632 | <programlisting># systemctl start sshd.service</programlisting> | |
1633 | are equivalent, as are | |
1634 | <programlisting># systemctl isolate default</programlisting> | |
1635 | and | |
1636 | <programlisting># systemctl isolate default.target</programlisting> | |
1637 | Note that (absolute) paths to device nodes are automatically converted to device unit names, and other (absolute) | |
1638 | paths to mount unit names. | |
1639 | <programlisting># systemctl status /dev/sda | |
1640 | # systemctl status /home</programlisting> | |
1641 | are equivalent to: | |
1642 | <programlisting># systemctl status dev-sda.device | |
1643 | # systemctl status home.mount</programlisting> | |
1644 | In the second case, shell-style globs will be matched against the primary names of all units currently in memory; | |
1645 | literal unit names, with or without a suffix, will be treated as in the first case. This means that literal unit | |
1646 | names always refer to exactly one unit, but globs may match zero units and this is not considered an | |
1647 | error.</para> | |
171754aa | 1648 | |
e1fac8a6 ZJS |
1649 | <para>Glob patterns use |
1650 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fnmatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, | |
1651 | so normal shell-style globbing rules are used, and | |
1652 | <literal>*</literal>, <literal>?</literal>, | |
1653 | <literal>[]</literal> may be used. See | |
1654 | <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>glob</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
1655 | for more details. The patterns are matched against the primary names of | |
1656 | units currently in memory, and patterns which do not match anything | |
1657 | are silently skipped. For example: | |
1658 | <programlisting># systemctl stop sshd@*.service</programlisting> | |
1659 | will stop all <filename>sshd@.service</filename> instances. Note that alias names of units, and units that aren't | |
1660 | in memory are not considered for glob expansion. | |

2154 | to. Must be one of <option>main</option>, <option>control</option> or <option>all</option> to | |
2155 | select whether to kill only the main process, the control process or all processes of the unit. The | |
2156 | main process of the unit is the one that defines the life-time of it. A control process of a unit | |
2157 | is one that is invoked by the manager to induce state changes of it. For example, all processes | |
2158 | started due to the <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>, <varname>ExecStop=</varname> or | |
2159 | <varname>ExecReload=</varname> settings of service units are control processes. Note that there is | |
2160 | only one control process per unit at a time, as only one state change is executed at a time. For | |
2161 | services of type <varname>Type=forking</varname>, the initial process started by the manager for | |
2162 | <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is a control process, while the process ultimately forked off by that | |
2163 | one is then considered the main process of the unit (if it can be determined). This is different | |
2164 | for service units of other types, where the process forked off by the manager for | |
2165 | <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is always the main process itself. A service unit consists of zero or | |
2166 | one main process, zero or one control process plus any number of additional processes. Not all unit | |
2167 | types manage processes of these types however. For example, for mount units, control processes are | |
2168 | defined (which are the invocations of <filename>&MOUNT_PATH;</filename> and | |
2169 | <filename>&UMOUNT_PATH;</filename>), but no main process is defined. If omitted, defaults to | |
