NAME

       dh_installsystemd - install systemd unit files

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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

       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

       --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

       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.
