Display boot-time emergency log message in full screen

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:

-c; --continuous
When specified, systemd-bsod waits continuously for changes in the journal if it does not find any emergency messages on the initial attempt.

--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.

Exit status

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