10 [--no-stop-on-upgrade] [unit file ...]
11
13 dh_systemd_start is a debhelper program that is responsible for
14 starting/stopping or restarting systemd unit files in case no
15 corresponding sysv init script is available.
16
17 As with dh_installinit, the unit file is stopped before upgrades and
18 started afterwards (unless --restart-after-upgrade is specified, in
19 which case it will only be restarted after the upgrade). This logic is
20 not used when there is a corresponding SysV init script because
21 invoke-rc.d performs the stop/start/restart in that case.
22
24 --restart-after-upgrade
25 Do not stop the unit file until after the package upgrade has been
26 completed. This is the default behaviour in compat 10.
27
28 In earlier compat levels the default was to stop the unit file in
29 the prerm, and start it again in the postinst.
30
31 This can be useful for daemons that should not have a possibly long
32 downtime during upgrade. But you should make sure that the daemon
33 will not get confused by the package being upgraded while it's
34 running before using this option.
35
36 --no-restart-after-upgrade
37 Undo a previous --restart-after-upgrade (or the default of compat
38 10). If no other options are given, this will cause the service to
39 be stopped in the prerm script and started again in the postinst
40 script.
41
42 -r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
43 Do not stop service on upgrade.
44
45 --no-start
46 Do not start the unit file after upgrades and after initial
47 installation (the latter is only relevant for services without a
48 corresponding init script).
49
51 Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
52 between invocations of this command (with the same arguments).
53 Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added
54 to maintainer scripts.
55
56 Note that dh_systemd_start should be run after dh_installinit so that
57 it can detect corresponding SysV init scripts. The default sequence in
58 dh does the right thing, this note is only relevant when you are
59 calling dh_systemd_start manually.
