CDIST-TYPE__SYSTEMD_UNIT(7)

NAME

cdist-type__systemd_unit - Install a systemd unit

DESCRIPTION

This type manages systemd units in /etc/systemd/system/. It can install, enable and start a systemd unit. This is particularly useful on systems which take advantage of systemd heavily (e.g., CoreOS). For more information about systemd units, see SYSTEMD.UNIT(5).

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

None.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

enablement-state
    'enabled', 'disabled' or 'masked', where:

enabled
    enables the unit

disabled
    disables the unit

masked
    masks the unit

source
    Path to the config file. If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the config file content.

state
    'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' where:

present
    the unit (or its mask) is installed

absent
    The unit is stopped, disabled and uninstalled. If the unit was masked, the mask is removed.

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

restart
    Start the unit if it was inactive. Restart the unit if the unit file changed. Stop the unit if new enablement-state is masked.

MESSAGES

None.

EXAMPLES

# Installs, enables and starts foobar.service
__systemd_unit foobar.service \
    --source "${__manifest}/files/foobar.service" \
    --enablement-state enabled \
    --restart
# Disables the unit
__systemd_unit foobar.service --enablement-state disabled
# Stops, disables and uninstalls foobar.service
