SYSTEMD-RUN-GENERATOR(8) systemd-run-generator SYSTEMD-RUN-GENERATOR(8)
systemd-run-generator - Generator for invoking commands specified
on the kernel command line as system service
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-run-generator
systemd-run-generator is a generator that reads the kernel
command line and understands three options:
If the systemd.run= option is specified and followed by a command
line, a unit named kernel-command-line.service is generated for
it and booted into. The service has Type=oneshot set, and has
SuccessAction=exit and FailureAction=exit configured by default,
thus ensuring that the system is shut down as soon as the command
completes. The exit status of the command line is propagated to
the invoking container manager, if this applies (which might
propagate this further, to the calling shell — e.g.
systemd-nspawn(7) does this). If this option is used multiple
times the unit file will contain multiple ExecStart= lines, to
execute all commands in order. The command is started as regular
service, i.e. with DefaultDependencies= on.
Use systemd.run_success_action= and systemd.run_failure_action=
to tweak how to react to the process completing. In particular
assigning "none" will leave the system running after the command
completes. For further details on supported arguments, see
systemd.unit(5).
systemd-run-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
Use a command like the following to add a user to the user
database inside a container run with systemd-nspawn(7):
# systemd-nspawn -D mycontainer -b systemd.run='"adduser test"'
(Note the requirement for double quoting in the command line
above. The first level of quoting ('') is processed and removed
by the command shell used to invoke systemd-nspawn. The second
level of quoting ("") is propagated to the kernel command line of
the container and processed and removed by systemd-run-generator.
Both together make sure both words of the specified command line
adduser test end up in the generated unit file together and are
neither split apart by the command shell nor by the generator.)
