SYSTEMD-...-ACTIVATE(1) systemd-socket-activate SYSTEMD-...-ACTIVATE(1)
systemd-socket-activate - Test socket activation of daemons
systemd-socket-activate [OPTIONS...] daemon [OPTIONS...]
systemd-socket-activate may be used to launch a socket-activated
service program from the command line for testing purposes. It may
also be used to launch individual instances of the service program
per connection.
The daemon to launch and its options should be specified after
options intended for systemd-socket-activate.
If the --inetd option is given, the socket file descriptor will be
used as the standard input and output of the launched process.
Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and
sockets will be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher.
Sockets passed through $LISTEN_FDS to systemd-socket-activate will
be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions. Other
sockets specified with --listen= will use consecutive descriptors.
By default, systemd-socket-activate listens on a stream socket,
use --datagram and --seqpacket to listen on datagram or sequential
packet sockets instead (see below).
-l address, --listen=address
Listen on this address. Takes a string like "2000" or
"127.0.0.1:2001".
Added in version 230.
-a, --accept
Launch an instance of the service program for each connection
and pass the connection socket.
Added in version 230.
-d, --datagram
Listen on a datagram socket (SOCK_DGRAM), instead of a stream
socket (SOCK_STREAM). May not be combined with --seqpacket.
Added in version 230.
--seqpacket
Listen on a sequential packet socket (SOCK_SEQPACKET), instead
of a stream socket (SOCK_STREAM). May not be combined with
--datagram.
Added in version 230.
--inetd
Use the inetd protocol for passing file descriptors, i.e. as
standard input and standard output, instead of the new-style
protocol for passing file descriptors using $LISTEN_FDS (see
above).
Added in version 230.
-E VAR[=VALUE], --setenv=VAR[=VALUE]
Add this variable to the environment of the launched process.
If VAR is followed by "=", assume that it is a variable–value
pair. Otherwise, obtain the value from the environment of
systemd-socket-activate itself.
Added in version 230.
--fdname=NAME[:NAME...]
Specify names for the file descriptors passed. This is
equivalent to setting FileDescriptorName= in socket unit
files, and enables use of sd_listen_fds_with_names(3).
Multiple entries may be specifies using separate options or by
separating names with colons (":") in one option. In case more
names are given than descriptors, superfluous ones will be
ignored. In case less names are given than descriptors, the
remaining file descriptors will be unnamed.
Added in version 230.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
$LISTEN_FDS, $LISTEN_PID, $LISTEN_FDNAMES
See sd_listen_fds(3).
Added in version 230.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET, $SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL, $SYSTEMD_LOG_TIME,
$SYSTEMD_LOG_COLOR, $SYSTEMD_LOG_LOCATION
Same as in systemd(1).
Added in version 230.
Example 1. Run an echo server on port 2000
$ systemd-socket-activate -l 2000 --inetd -a cat
Example 2. Run a socket-activated instance of systemd-journal-
gatewayd(8)
$ systemd-socket-activate -l 19531 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-gatewayd
systemd(1), systemd.socket(5), systemd.service(5), systemd-run(1),
sd_listen_fds(3), sd_listen_fds_with_names(3), cat(1)
