Unit configuration files for services, sockets, mount points and swap devices share a subset of configuration options which define the process killing parameters of spawned processes.
This man page lists the configuration options shared by these four unit types. See unitfile(5) for the common options of all unit configuration files, and unitfile_service(5) , unitfile_socket(5) , unitfile_swap(5) and unitfile_mount(5) for more information on the specific unit configuration files. The execution specific configuration options are configured in the [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap] section, depending on the unit type.
KillMode=
Specifies how processes of this service shall be killed. One
of control-group , process ,
none .
If set to control-group , all remaining
processes in the control group of this unit will be terminated on
unit stop (for services: after the stop command is executed, as
configured with ExecStop= ). If set to
process , only the main process itself is killed.
If set to none , no process is killed. In this case
only the stop command will be executed on unit stop, but no process
be killed otherwise. Processes remaining alive after stop are left
in their control group and the control group continues to exist
after stop unless it is empty. Defaults to
control-group .
Processes will first be terminated via
SIGTERM (unless the signal to send is changed
via KillSignal= ). Optionally, this is
immediately followed by a SIGHUP (if enabled
with SendSIGHUP= ). If then, after a delay
(configured via the TimeoutStopSec= option),
processes still remain, the termination request is repeated with the
SIGKILL signal (unless this is disabled via the
SendSIGKILL= option). See kill(2) for more information.
KillSignal=
Specifies which signal to use when killing a service. Defaults
to SIGTERM .
SendSIGHUP=
Specifies whether to send SIGHUP to
remaining processes immediately after sending the signal configured
with KillSignal= . This is useful to indicate to
shells and shell-like programs that their connection has been
severed. Takes a boolean value. Defaults to "no".
SendSIGKILL=
Specifies whether to send SIGKILL to
remaining processes after a timeout, if the normal shutdown
procedure left processes of the service around. Takes a boolean
value. Defaults to "yes".
