NAME

       systemd.kill - Kill environment configuration

SYNOPSIS

       service.service, socket.socket, mount.mount, swap.swap

DESCRIPTION

       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
       systemd.unit(5) for the common options of all unit configuration files, and
       systemd.service(5), systemd.socket(5), systemd.swap(5) and systemd.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.

OPTIONS

       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=). If then after a delay (configured via the TimeoutSec= 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.

       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".
