NAME¶

utrans-rc - convert systemd units using utrans(1) and then save or install them

SYNOPSIS¶

utrans-rc [-h] [-o <OUTPUT_DIR>] [-u | <SOURCE_DIR>..]
    

OPTIONS¶

The following commandline options are supported:-

-h

show usage

-o <OUTPUT_DIR>

save generated files to subdirectories of <OUTPUT_DIR>

-u

only check for new/modified/deleted units; ignores <SOURCE_DIR> and update

DESCRIPTION¶

utrans-rc scans the source directory/directories for systemd.service(5) and systemd.timer(5) units. If no source directory is specified, /etc/systemd/system is scanned to obtain the units installed and enabled by the package manager or the system administrator.

Each unit is converted using utrans(1).

If <OUTPUT_DIR> is specified, generated files are saved there. Otherwise, the files are installed beneath /etc using sudo(8) and ucf(1) to preserve user modifications. If installation would overwrite any files in a package known to dpkg(1) then the whole unit is skipped.
