NAME

6       systemd.slice - Slice unit configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       slice.slice
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".slice" encodes
13       information about a slice which is a concept for hierarchically
14       managing resources of a group of processes. This management is
15       performed by creating a node in the Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree.
16       Units that manage processes (primarily scope and service units) may be
17       assigned to a specific slice. For each slice, certain resource limits
18       may be set that apply to all processes of all units contained in that
19       slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The name of the
20       slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a
21       dash-separated series of names, which describes the path to the slice
22       from the root slice. The root slice is named, -.slice. Example:
23       foo-bar.slice is a slice that is located within foo.slice, which in
24       turn is located in the root slice -.slice.
25
26       By default, service and scope units are placed in system.slice, virtual
27       machines and containers registered with systemd-machined(1) are found
28       in machine.slice, and user sessions handled by systemd-logind(1) in
29       user.slice. See systemd.special(5) for more information.
30
31       See systemd.unit(5) for the common options of all unit configuration
32       files. The common configuration items are configured in the generic
33       [Unit] and [Install] sections. The slice specific configuration options
34       are configured in the [Slice] section. Currently, only generic resource
35       control settings as described in systemd.resource-control(7) are
36       allowed.
37
38       Unless DefaultDependencies=false is used, slice units will implicitly
39       have dependencies of type Conflicts= and Before= on shutdown.target.
40       These ensure that slice units are removed prior to system shutdown.
41       Only slice units involved with early boot or late system shutdown
42       should disable this option.
