+ in other time units if suffixed with <literal>ms</literal>, <literal>min</literal>, <literal>h</literal>,
+ <literal>d</literal>, <literal>w</literal>). If <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is set to a non-zero

+ <varname>WatchdogDevice=</varname> or the kernel option <varname>systemd.watchdog-device=</varname>) will be
+ programmed to automatically reboot the system if it is not contacted within the specified timeout interval. The
+ system manager will ensure to contact it at least once in half the specified timeout interval. This feature
+ requires a hardware watchdog device to be present, as it is commonly the case in embedded and server
+ systems. Not all hardware watchdogs allow configuration of all possible reboot timeout values, in which case
+ the closest available timeout is picked. <varname>ShutdownWatchdogSec=</varname> may be used to configure the
+ hardware watchdog when the system is asked to reboot. It works as a safety net to ensure that the reboot takes
+ place even if a clean reboot attempt times out. Note that the <varname>ShutdownWatchdogSec=</varname> timeout
+ applies only to the second phase of the reboot, i.e. after all regular services are already terminated, and
+ after the system and service manager process (PID 1) got replaced by the <filename>systemd-shutdown</filename>
+ binary, see system <citerefentry><refentrytitle>bootup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. During the first phase of the shutdown operation the system and service manager remains running
+ and hence <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> is still honoured. In order to define a timeout on this first
+ phase of system shutdown, configure <varname>JobTimeoutSec=</varname> and <varname>JobTimeoutAction=</varname>
+ in the <literal>[Unit]</literal> section of the <filename>shutdown.target</filename> unit. By default
+ <varname>RuntimeWatchdogSec=</varname> defaults to 0 (off), and <varname>ShutdownWatchdogSec=</varname> to
+ 10min. These settings have no effect if a hardware watchdog is not available.</para></listitem>

+ affects the respective capabilities in the effective,
+ permitted and inheritable capability sets. The capability
+ bounding set may also be individually configured for units
+ using the <varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> directive

+ 64-bit x86-64 systems. This option operates system-wide, and
+ acts similar to the

+ files, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ case no filtering of system calls based on architecture is
+ applied. Known architecture identifiers are
+ <literal>x86</literal>, <literal>x86-64</literal>,
+ <literal>x32</literal>, <literal>arm</literal> and the special
+ identifier <literal>native</literal>. The latter implicitly
+ maps to the native architecture of the system (or more
+ specifically, the architecture the system manager was compiled
+ for). Set this setting to <literal>native</literal> to
+ prohibit execution of any non-native binaries. When a binary
+ executes a system call of an architecture that is not listed
+ in this setting, it will be immediately terminated with the

+ or <option>soft:hard</option> to set both limits individually (e.g. DefaultLimitAS=4G:16G).
+ Use the string <varname>infinity</varname> to

+ suffixes K (=1024), M (=1024*1024) and so on for G, T, P and E
+ may be used for resource limits measured in bytes
+ (e.g. DefaultLimitAS=16G). For the limits referring to time values,

+ multiples of 1s. These settings may be overridden in individual units
+ using the corresponding LimitXXX= directives. Note that these resource
