| Simplified Manual Pages |
The standard set of manual pages (often called man pages) which are available in most flavours of Linux, BSD and Unix tend to be long and they can be cryptic. Manual pages tend to list what options are available without explaining why we might use them. Further, many manual pages do not provide examples.
The TLDR-pages project has compiled a collection of simplified manual pages which present commands with a clear explanation of what each command does and lists examples of how the command is most often used. These simplified pages are available below.
systemd-run
Run programs in transient scope units, service units, or path-, socket-, or timer-triggered service units.
More information: home page
- Start a transient service:
sudo systemd-run command argument1 argument2 ...
- Start a transient service under the service manager of the current user (no privileges):
systemd-run --user command argument1 argument2 ...
- Start a transient service with a custom unit name and description:
sudo systemd-run [-u|--unit] name --description string command argument1 argument2 ...
- Start a transient service that does not get cleaned up after it terminates with a custom environment variable:
sudo systemd-run [-r|--remain-after-exit] --set-env=name=value command argument1 argument2 ...
- Start a transient timer that periodically runs its transient service (see `man systemd.time` for calendar event format):
sudo systemd-run --on-calendar=calendar_event command argument1 argument2 ...
- Share the terminal with the program (allowing interactive input/output) and make sure the execution details remain after the program exits:
systemd-run [-r|--remain-after-exit] --pty command
- Set properties (e.g. CPUQuota, MemoryMax) of the process and wait until it exits:
systemd-run [-p|--property] MemoryMax=memory_in_bytes [-p|--property] CPUQuota=percentage_of_CPU_time% --wait command
- Use the program in a shell pipeline:
command1 | systemd-run [-P|--pipe] command2 | command3
