systemd-run

systemd-run is a command line tool used in Linux systems that allows users to run transient systemd units from the command line. These transient units are temporary and exist only as long as the command is executed or until termination.

The tool provides an interface for creating on-the-fly systemd units without the need for manually creating unit files. It is especially useful for running short-lived tasks or one-time operations.

With systemd-run, users can specify various options and parameters to customize the execution environment. These options include setting the execution time limit, determining standard input/output behavior, managing resource constraints, and configuring the environment variables.

This command line tool ensures that the transient units are properly logged, managed, and integrated into the systemd ecosystem, providing a consistent and reliable execution environment.

It is particularly beneficial for automation, scripting, and administrative tasks where the creation and management of temporary units are required.

systemd-run simplifies the process of running commands in a controlled environment, allowing users to execute tasks efficiently and securely within the Linux system.
