.SH "NAME"
systemd-update-done.service, systemd-update-done \- Mark /etc/ and /var/ fully updated
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
systemd\-update\-done\&.service
.PP
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd\-update\-done
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
systemd\-update\-done\&.service
is a service that is invoked as part of the first boot after the vendor operating system resources in
/usr/
have been updated\&. This is useful to implement offline updates of
/usr/
which might require updates to
/etc/
or
/var/
on the following boot\&.
.PP
systemd\-update\-done\&.service
updates the file modification time (mtime) of the stamp files
/etc/\&.updated
and
/var/\&.updated
to the modification time of the
/usr/
directory, unless the stamp files are already newer\&.
.PP
Services that shall run after offline upgrades of
/usr/
should order themselves before
systemd\-update\-done\&.service, and use the
\fIConditionNeedsUpdate=\fR
(see
\fBsystemd.unit\fR(5)) condition to make sure to run when
/etc/
or
/var/
are older than
/usr/
according to the modification times of the files described above\&. This requires that updates to
/usr/
are always followed by an update of the modification time of
/usr/, for example by invoking
\fBtouch\fR(1)
on it\&.
.PP
Note that if the
\fIsystemd\&.condition_needs_update=\fR
kernel command line option is used it overrides the
\fIConditionNeedsUpdate=\fR
unit condition checks\&. In that case
systemd\-update\-done\&.service
will not reset the condition state until a follow\-up reboot where the kernel switch is not specified anymore\&.
