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