# Systemd & Shell Integration Reference The units installed and enabled by `postinstall.sh`, plus the `pos` bash completion. - [Services](#services) - [`autostart.service`](#autostartservice) - [`ssh-agent.service`](#ssh-agentservice) - [Feature-flag gating](#feature-flag-gating) - [Bash completion](#bash-completion) --- ## Services `postinstall.sh` copies every `systemd/*.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/`, runs `systemctl daemon-reload`, then enables each one (see the gating rule below). ### autostart.service **Purpose:** run `features/autostart.sh` at boot (after the network is online) and keep retrying if it fails. ```ini [Unit] Description=My Linux Autostart Script After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/autostart.sh Restart=on-failure RestartSec=10 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` **Configuration:** point `ExecStart` at your boot script. Because the target script is a *feature*, this unit is only **enabled** when the `autostart` flag is set — the file is still copied, but a skipped feature leaves the unit present-but-disabled. ### ssh-agent.service **Purpose:** a system-wide SSH agent, one shared socket for all sessions (so `pos ssh load-keys` and everyday ssh work without per-login agents). ```ini [Unit] Description=SSH Authentication Agent After=network.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStartPre=mkdir -p /run/ssh-agent ExecStart=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -D -a /run/ssh-agent/socket ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c 'chmod 666 /run/ssh-agent/socket' ExecStopPost=/bin/sh -c 'rm -f /run/ssh-agent/socket' Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` **Configuration:** socket at `/run/ssh-agent/socket` (world-readable/writable). `~/.bashrc` (set by `postinstall.sh`) exports `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` to it. Not gated on any feature flag. --- ## Feature-flag gating The systemd loop in `postinstall.sh` special-cases `autostart.service`: ```bash if [ "$svc_name" = "autostart.service" ] && ! flag_is_set autostart; then warn "autostart feature not installed — skipping autostart.service (run ./install.sh --feature)" continue fi ``` Set the flag with `./install.sh --feature` (or `flag-set autostart`). See [SCRIPTS.md → lib/flags.sh](SCRIPTS.md#libflagssh--feature-flags). --- ## Bash completion **File:** `completions/pos.bash` **Purpose:** tab-completion for the `pos` CLI. ### How it works - **Dynamically discovers** subcommands by listing executable `pos-*` files next to the `pos` binary — no hard-coded command list, so new tools complete automatically. - Works with the `bash-completion` package (`_init_completion`) and falls back to a manual init if it isn't loaded. - Provides completion for the first two words of `pos `. ### Configuration Installed by `postinstall.sh` to `/usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/pos.bash` and sourced from `~/.bashrc`. To load it manually: `source completions/pos.bash` (or copy into `/etc/bash_completion.d/`).
