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".
