time to sleep during ''start'' or ''stop'' before considering the process failed on start or stop. Start and stop timeout can be set with different values using <code>TimeoutStartSec=</code> nad e <code>TimeoutStopSec=</code>
== Network Configuration ==
One of the most systemt configuration used is the '''Network configuration'''.
systemd uses a slightly different configuration mechanism than SystemV. The configuration file is the following one with an example of configuration:
/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network
<pre>
[Match]
Name=eth0
# Prevent the interface loading if the kernel boots from nfs
KernelCommandLine=!nfsroot
[Network]
Address=192.168.0.120
Gateway=192.168.0.254
DNS=192.168.0.1
#DNS=8.8.8.8
</pre>
'''Note:'''
The DNS is used only if the <code>systemd-resolved</code> service is enabled and the <code>/etc/resolv.conf</code> has a symbloic link to <code>/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf</code>
<pre>
ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
</pre>

==== wpa_supplicant ====
wpa_supplicant provides different services on systemd:
* <code>wpa_supplicant.service</code> uses D-Bus, recommende with the ''NetworkManager''
* <code>wpa_supplicant@interface.service</code> uses the interface name (like ''wlan0'') as parameter ansd executes the wpa_supplicant daemon on that interface. The configuration file is <code>/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-interface.conf</code>
For enabling the interface at boot time it is required to start the service
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@interface
==== Configuration example ====
Assuming ''wlan0'' as the wireless interface name, the a configuration file example are the following one:
/etc/systemd/network/wlan0.network
<pre>
[Match]
Name=wlan0
[Network]
# Uncomment for DHCP
#DHCP=yes
Address=192.168.1.120
Gateway=192.168.1.254
DNS=8.8.8.8
</pre>
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
<pre>
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="SSID1"
psk="password1"
priority=1
}
network={
ssid="SSID2"
psk="password2"
priority=2
}
</pre>
For automatically creating the netwrok configuration, the following command can be used:
wpa_passphrase <ESSID> <passphrase> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
Then, the sercice should be enabled on the ''wlan0'' interface for instructing systemd to start itusing the (just) created configuration file <code>wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf</code>:
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0
