java-systemd

This Java library provides access to systemd via D-Bus. It features:

• Simultaneous connectivity to the system and the user instance of the Java process owner
• Access to the particular instance-wide 'Manager' interface, including
• Method calls (ListUnits, StartUnit, StopUnit, RestartUnit, etc.)
• Property access (Environment, SystemState, KernelTimestamp, etc.)
• Convenience methods for instantiation of unit wrappers (see next bullet)
• Access to methods and properties of the 'Unit' interface and all derived interfaces, like
• Device
• Mount
• Service
• Target
• ...
• Encapsulation of complex properties into objects with meaningful fields
• Utility methods (timestamp conversion, path escaping, etc.)

Requirements

dbus-java is required for this library to work. At the time of writing no pre-built JAR is available in the usual placed yet (e.g. central repository) hence you have to build and install it manually in your local repository. A Maven compatible fork is available here.

Building

Maven is used as the primary build system.
