45 | <para>Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files, |
46 | but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of | |
47 | systemd. They are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name | |
48 | ends in <literal>.scope</literal> refers to a scope unit. Scopes | |
fbce1139 | 49 | units manage a set of system processes. Unlike service units, scope |
9365b048 LP |
50 | units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off |
51 | processes on its own.</para> | |

9365b048 | 53 | <para>The main purpose of scope units is grouping worker processes |
847ae0ae | 54 | of a system service for organization and for managing resources.</para> |

56 | <para><command>systemd-run <option>--scope</option></command> may | |
57 | be used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit from the | |
58 | command line.</para> | |

85 | that scope units are removed prior to system | |

87 | late system shutdown should disable | |
