DH_INSTALLSYSTEMD(1)              Debhelper             DH_INSTALLSYSTEMD(1)

NAME         top

       dh_installsystemd - install systemd unit files

SYNOPSIS         top

       dh_installsystemd [debhelper options] [--restart-after-upgrade]
       [--no-stop-on-upgrade] [--no-enable] [--name=name] [unit file ...]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dh_installsystemd is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       enabling, disabling, starting, stopping and restarting systemd unit
       files.

       In the simple case, it finds all unit files installed by a package
       (e.g.  bacula-fd.service) and enables them. It is not necessary that
       the machine actually runs systemd during package installation time,
       enabling happens on all machines in order to be able to switch from
       sysvinit to systemd and back.

       For only generating blocks for specific service files, you need to
       pass them as arguments, e.g. dh_installsystemd quota.service and
       dh_installsystemd --name=quotarpc quotarpc.service.

FILES         top

       debian/package.service, debian/package@.service
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.service (or
           lib/systemd/system/package@.service) in the package build
           directory.

       debian/package.tmpfile
           If this exists, it is installed into
           usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/package.conf in the package build directory.
           (The tmpfiles.d mechanism is currently only used by systemd.)

       debian/package.target, debian/package@.target
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.target (or
           lib/systemd/system/package@.target) in the package build
           directory.

       debian/package.socket, debian/package@.socket
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.socket (or
           lib/systemd/system/package@.socket) in the package build
           directory.

       debian/package.mount
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.mount in the package build directory.

       debian/package.path, debian/package@.path
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.path (or
           lib/systemd/system/package@.path) in the package build directory.

       debian/package.timer, debian/package@.timer
           If this exists, it is installed into
           lib/systemd/system/package.timer (or
           lib/systemd/system/package@.timer) in the package build
           directory.

OPTIONS         top

       --no-enable
           Disable the service(s) on purge, but do not enable them on
           install.

           Note that this option does not affect whether the services are
           started.  Please remember to also use --no-start if the service
           should not be started.

       --name=name
           Install the service file as name.service instead of the default
           filename, which is the package.service. When this parameter is
           used, dh_installsystemd looks for and installs files named
           debian/package.name.service instead of the usual
           debian/package.service.  Moreover, maintainer scripts are only
           generated for units that match the given name.

       --restart-after-upgrade
           Do not stop the unit file until after the package upgrade has
           been completed.  This is the default behaviour in compat 10.

           In earlier compat levels the default was to stop the unit file in
           the prerm, and start it again in the postinst.

           This can be useful for daemons that should not have a possibly
           long downtime during upgrade. But you should make sure that the
           daemon will not get confused by the package being upgraded while
           it's running before using this option.

       --no-restart-after-upgrade
           Undo a previous --restart-after-upgrade (or the default of compat
           10).  If no other options are given, this will cause the service
           to be stopped in the prerm script and started again in the
           postinst script.

       -r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
           Do not stop service on upgrade.

       --no-start
           Do not start the unit file after upgrades and after initial
           installation (the latter is only relevant for services without a
           corresponding init script).

           Note that this option does not affect whether the services are
           enabled.  Please remember to also use --no-enable if the services
           should not be enabled.

NOTES         top

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
       between invocations of this command (with the same arguments).
       Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be
       added to maintainer scripts.
