Name

systemd-bsod.service, systemd-bsod — Displays boot-time emergency log message in full screen

Synopsis

systemd-bsod.service

/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bsod [OPTIONS...]

Description

systemd-bsod.service is used to display a blue screen which contains a message relating to a boot failure, including a QR code which can be scanned to get helpful information about the failure.

Options

The following options are understood by systemd-bsod:

-h, --help

Print a short help text and exit.

--version

Print a short version string and exit.

-c, --continuous

When specified, systemd-bsod waits continuously for changes in the journal if it doesn't find any emergency messages on the initial attempt.

Added in version 255.

--tty=

Specify the TTY to output to. By default systemd-bsod will automatically find a free VT to display the message on. If this option is specified a TTY may be selected explicitly. Use --tty=/dev/tty to direct output to the terminal the command is invoked on.

Added in version 256.

Exit status

On success (displaying the journal message successfully), 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
