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".
