How do I avoid to launch systemd user units on non-graphical user sessions?












1















I am currently deploying systemd user units which should be launched every time a user logins in. However, the service spawns an application that depends on the environment variable $DISPLAY. Therefore, I would like to know if there is any mechanism that prevents the unit to launch on non-graphical user sessions, such as: local tty sessions and remote sessions through ssh.



Edit #1: You can find the Unit file bellow for the service.



[Unit]

Description= User session Unit



[Service]

Type=forking

Restart=always

RestartSec=1

ExecStart=/usr/share/App/exec.sh start $HOME

ExecStop=/usr/share/App/exec.sh stop $HOME

ExecReload=/usr/share/App/exec.sh reload $HOME



[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target





linux xorg systemd

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
