GnomeDesktop.start_systemd_scope(name, pid, description, connection, cancellable, callback, *user_data)

Parameters:

• name (str) – Name for the application

• pid (int) – The PID of the application

• description (str or None) – A description to use for the unit, or None

• connection (Gio.DBusConnection or None) – An Gio.DBusConnection to the session bus, or None

• cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – Gio.Cancellable to use

• callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – Callback to call when the operation is done

• user_data (object or None) – Data to be passed to callback

If the current process is running inside a user systemd instance, then move the launched PID into a transient scope. The given name will be used to create a unit name. It should be the application ID or the executable in all other cases. If a desktop-id is passed then the .desktop suffix will be stripped.

It is advisable to use this function every time where the started application can be considered reasonably independent of the launching application. Placing it in a scope creates proper separation between the programs rather than being considered a single entity by systemd.

It is always safe to call this function. Note that a successful return code does not imply that a unit has been created. It solely means that no error condition was hit sending the request.

If connection is None then g_dbus_get() will be called internally.

Note that most callers will not need to handle errors. As such, it is normal to pass a None callback.

GnomeDesktop.start_systemd_scope_finish(res)

Parameters:

res (Gio.AsyncResult) – A Gio.AsyncResult

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

False on error, True otherwise

Return type:

bool

Finish an asynchronous operation to create a transient scope that was started with GnomeDesktop.start_systemd_scope().

Note that a successful return code does not imply that a unit has been created. It solely means that no error condition was hit sending the request.
