While researching and all its functionality, I started using systemd-analyzer more often. Enough reason to get started on documenting all its options, including examples, and references back to the relevant articles that use related information.

Good to add: the official documentation is definitely not bad, but it is written by "insiders". My goal is to make information available in a different format.

First version is online: https://linux-audit.com/system-administration/commands/systemd-analyze/

Enjoy!

I started my systemd journey about 2-3 weeks ago when I took first steps moving my home office kernel CI from busybox to systemd + UKI. I was lagging at least two years in its features. Before that I've been sysvinit level user, i.e. just enabling services and reading the logs 🤷

My fav feature so far: systemd-run0. It's excellent debugging tool for testing PolKit and other access control layers in Linux (in my daily use I still tend to sudo).

Yes, the features go really quick. For writing these articles I have to use a rolling distro, otherwise I don't see half of them 😄

Hope you benefit from my documentation efforts and love any feedback in the future if you feel something is missing or should really be covered. In the upcoming few weeks I expect much more to write, including more about unit settings and the commands. Each time I discover new ones 😎

@mboelen Looks nice and clean! But I knowingly ignore the details *right now* because I'm heading of to four week holiday ;-) [bookmarked the update for August]

Except next I have to flush my LKML queue and send v6.11 PR(s) but, oh well...
