SYSTEMD-SOCKET-ACTIVATE(1) | systemd-socket-activate | SYSTEMD-SOCKET-ACTIVATE(1) |
NAME¶
systemd-socket-activate - Test socket activation of daemonsSYNOPSIS¶
systemd-socket-activate [OPTIONS...] daemon
[OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION¶
systemd-socket-activate may be used to launch a socket-activated service binary from the command line for testing purposes. It may also be used to launch individual instances of the service binary per connection. The daemon to launch and its options should be specified after options intended for systemd-socket-activate. If the --inetd option is given, the socket file descriptor will be used as the standard input and output of the launched process. Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and sockets will be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher. Sockets passed through $LISTEN_FDS to systemd-socket-activate will be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions. Other sockets specified with --listen= will use consecutive descriptors. By default, systemd-socket-activate listens on a stream socket, use --datagram and --seqpacket to listen on datagram or sequential packet sockets instead (see below).OPTIONS¶
-l address, --listen=addressListen on this address. Takes a string like
"2000" or "127.0.0.1:2001".
-a, --accept
Launch an instance of the service binary for each
connection and pass the connection socket.
-d, --datagram
Listen on a datagram socket (SOCK_DGRAM), instead
of a stream socket ( SOCK_STREAM). May not be combined with
--seqpacket.
--seqpacket
Listen on a sequential packet socket
(SOCK_SEQPACKET), instead of a stream socket ( SOCK_STREAM). May
not be combined with --datagram.
--inetd
Use the inetd protocol for passing file descriptors, i.e.
as standard input and standard output, instead of the new-style protocol for
passing file descriptors using $LISTEN_FDS (see above).
-E VAR[=VALUE],
--setenv=VAR [=VALUE]
Add this variable to the environment of the launched
process. If VAR is followed by "=", assume that it is a
variable–value pair. Otherwise, obtain the value from the environment
of systemd-socket-activate itself.
--fdname=NAME[:NAME...]
Specify names for the file descriptors passed. This is
equivalent to setting FileDescriptorName= in socket unit files, and
enables use of sd_listen_fds_with_names(3). Multiple entries may be
specifies using separate options or by separating names with colons
(":") in one option. In case more names are given than descriptors,
superflous ones willl be ignored. In case less names are given than
descriptors, the remaining file descriptors will be unnamed.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
$LISTEN_FDS, $LISTEN_PID, $LISTEN_FDNAMESSee sd_listen_fds(3).
$SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET, $SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL,
$SYSTEMD_LOG_COLOR, $SYSTEMD_LOG_LOCATION
Same as in systemd(1).
EXAMPLES¶
Example 1. Run an echo server on port 2000$ systemd-socket-activate -l 2000 --inetd -a cat
$ systemd-socket-activate -l 19531 /lib/systemd/systemd-journal-gatewayd
