===New unit types===
== Scheduled Tasks ==
====scope units====
Fedora uses `chronie` for execution of scheduled tasks using the `chrond` service.  Packages may drop files into '''/etc/cron.d/''' to add a task, or a user can add a task using the `crontab` utility.
Scope units are automatically created by systemd out of existing processes. By grouping a process and its children together, a scope unit can be used to organize processes, apply resource units, or kill a group of processes. User sessions are one example of processes contained in a scope unit.


====slice units====
To learn about using cron jobs, refer to:
Slice units are used to group units that manage processes into a hierarchy to allow control of resources allocated for the slice. The default slices, listed below, are automatically populated.
+ machine.slice, for virtual machines and containers
+ system.slice, for system services
+ user.slice, for user sessions 
 
Instance units, such as getty@.service, are spawned on demand using the template defined in their configuration file.  Each type of template is given a subslice of the system slice, and instances are contained within that slice.
 
Scope and service units assigned to a slice are descendants of that slice's node in the control group tree. A slice's name describes its position relative to the root slice. The output below demonstrates how "user-1000.slice" is a child of "user.slice" which is in turn a child of the root slice.

          <truncated>
 
Services can be added to a slice with the "Slice=slicename" directive in their unit configuration file. Arguments allowing resource limitations within a slice or service unit are described in `man systemd.directives`.  See also `man systemd.slice` and `man systed.cgroup` .
 
===Other Systemd Changes===
====systemd-cryptsetup for TrueCrypt====
<!-- this should be tested! -->
Support for TrueCrypt volumes in Fedora is expanded by systemd-cryptsetup's support for the technology, allowing easy authentication to TrueCrypt volumes during boot.
 
===systemctl===
====Filtering by unit state====
`systemctl` now supports filtering the unit list output by load state. The --state option will accept any value or a comma-separated list values of LOAD, SUB, or ACTIVE states. For example:
systemctl --state failed
 
===journalctl===
====Viewing the logs of a specific boot====
`journalctl -b` can be used to look for boot output of a specific boot. For example:
journalctl -b # output from current boot
journalctl -b -1 #output from previous boot
 
In addition to relative boot sequence, journalctl assigns a 128bit boot ID that can be referenced. For example,
journalctl -b  38fd9c3303574ed38e822233457f6b77 # output from a specific designated boot
 
===Referencing the journal with 'cursors'===
journalctl can reference the contents of the journal by a record identifier known as a 'cursor'. Similar to a git hash, the cursor uniquely identifies a point in the journal.
   
   
If you add --show-cursor to a journalctl query, the last line of output will contain the cursor value:
* `man 1 crontab`
journalctl -b -u network --show-cursor --since 15:00
* `man 5 crontab`
Sep 08 15:37:59 localhost.localdomain network[4074]: [FAILED]
* `man 8 cron`
Sep 08 15:37:59 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: network.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
* `man 8 crond`
Sep 08 15:37:59 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking.
* https://docs.fedoraproject.org/sysadmin-guide
Sep 08 15:37:59 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Unit network.service entered failed state.
-- cursor: s=13497722134642a2ac1544bada0c8836;i=1120d;b=8491c05dabd3444ca122e7069b5de0a9;m=db2118a46;t=4e5e7d81c7402;x=d177768ac95df831
 
The cursor can be used to identify that point in the journal in a broader query to provide context:
journalctl -c "s=13497722134642a2ac1544bada0c8836;i=1120d;b=8491c05dabd3444ca122e7069b5de0a9;m=db2118a46;t=4e5e7d81c7402;x=d177768ac95df831"
 
Scripts parsing journalctl's output can store the cursor value and use it on their next run to pick up where they left off:
journalctl --after-cursor "s=13497722134642a2ac1544bada0c8836;i=1120d;b=8491c05dabd3444ca122e7069b5de0a9;m=db2118a46;t=4e5e7d81c7402;x=d177768ac95df831"

<!-- There's a bit about journalctl cursor seeking, but I can't find a documented definition of 'cursor' or any usage examples. It appears to be for machine users of the journal only. -->

BIND 9.10

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) has been updated to version 9.10. This version adds IPv6 listening by default. It also unifies external and internal libraries so that external applications can use the same libraries as BIND daemons. The version 3 XML schema, which provides faster parsing, is no longer optional.

Scheduled Tasks

Fedora uses chronie for execution of scheduled tasks using the chrond service. Packages may drop files into /etc/cron.d/ to add a task, or a user can add a task using the crontab utility.
