DH_SYSTEMD_START(1)               Debhelper              DH_SYSTEMD_START(1)

NAME         top

       dh_systemd_start - start/stop/restart systemd unit files

SYNOPSIS         top

       dh_systemd_start [debhelper options] [--restart-after-upgrade]
       [--no-stop-on-upgrade] [unit file ...]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dh_systemd_start is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       starting/stopping or restarting systemd unit files in case no
       corresponding sysv init script is available.

       As with dh_installinit, the unit file is stopped before upgrades and
       started afterwards (unless --restart-after-upgrade is specified, in
       which case it will only be restarted after the upgrade).  This logic
       is not used when there is a corresponding SysV init script because
       invoke-rc.d performs the stop/start/restart in that case.

OPTIONS         top

       --restart-after-upgrade
           Do not stop the unit file until after the package upgrade has
           been completed.  This is the default behaviour in compat 10.

           In earlier compat levels the default was to stop the unit file in
           the prerm, and start it again in the postinst.

           This can be useful for daemons that should not have a possibly
           long downtime during upgrade. But you should make sure that the
           daemon will not get confused by the package being upgraded while
           it's running before using this option.

       --no-restart-after-upgrade
           Undo a previous --restart-after-upgrade (or the default of compat
           10).  If no other options are given, this will cause the service
           to be stopped in the prerm script and started again in the
           postinst script.

       -r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
           Do not stop service on upgrade.

       --no-start
           Do not start the unit file after upgrades and after initial
           installation (the latter is only relevant for services without a
           corresponding init script).

NOTES         top

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
       between invocations of this command (with the same arguments).
       Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be
       added to maintainer scripts.

       Note that dh_systemd_start should be run after dh_installinit so that
       it can detect corresponding SysV init scripts. The default sequence
       in dh does the right thing, this note is only relevant when you are
       calling dh_systemd_start manually.
