<title>Description</title>
- <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
- <literal>.scope</literal> encodes information about a unit created
- by systemd to encapsulate processes launched not by systemd
- itself. This management is performed by creating a node in the
- control group tree. Processes are moved into the scope by means
- of the DBus API.
- <command>systemd-run <option>--scope</option></command> can be
- used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit.</para>
-
- <para>See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for the common options of all unit configuration
- files. The common configuration items are configured
- in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
- scope specific configuration options are configured in
- the [Scope] section. Currently, only generic cgroup settings
- as described in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.cgroup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
- </para>
+ <para>Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files,
+ but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of
+ systemd. They are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name
+ ends in <literal>.scope</literal> refers to a scope unit. Scopes
+ units manage a set of system processes. Unlike service units, scope
+ units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off
+ processes on its own.</para>
+
+ <para>The main purpose of scope units is grouping worker processes
+ of a system service for organization and for managing resources.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-run <option>--scope</option></command> may
+ be used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit from the
+ command line.</para>
+
+ <para>See the <ulink
+ url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/">New
+ Control Group Interfaces</ulink> for an introduction on how to make
+ use of scope units from programs.</para>

- <para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=false</varname>
- is used, scope units will implicitly have dependencies of
- type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
- <varname>Before=</varname> on
- <filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
- that scope units are removed prior to system
- shutdown. Only scope units involved with early boot or
- late system shutdown should disable this option.
