Q1Domain Verified
In the context of `systemd.unit` files, what is the primary purpose of the `Conflicts=` directive?
To indicate that the current unit should be stopped if the specified unit is reloaded.
To prevent a service from being started if another specified service is currently active.
To define dependencies where the current unit must be running for the specified unit to start.
To ensure a service starts only after another specified service has successfully exited.
Q2Domain Verified
A `systemd` service unit is failing to start, and `journalctl -xeu my_service.service` shows an error related to "ExecStartPre failed." What is the most direct implication of this error?
The service unit file itself has syntax errors preventing it from being parsed.
The service's main process is crashing immediately after initialization.
The pre-execution script or command defined in `ExecStartPre=` is failing.
The command specified in `ExecStart=` is encountering an execution error.
Q3Domain Verified
Consider a `systemd` service unit that needs to ensure its configuration files are read-only for security. Which `systemd.exec` directive would be most appropriate to enforce this at the process level during the service's runtime?
`ProtectSystem=strict`
`ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc/my_app/conf`
`NoNewPrivileges=yes`
`PrivateTmp=yes`
