16.138. cdist-type__systemd_unit(7)¶

16.138.1. NAME¶

cdist-type__systemd_unit - Install a systemd unit

16.138.2. 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).

16.138.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS¶

None.

16.138.4. 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.

16.138.5. 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.

16.138.6. MESSAGES¶

None.
