<title>Description</title>
<para>Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files,
but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of
systemd. They are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name
ends in <literal>.scope</literal> refers to a scope unit. Scopes
units manage a set of system processes. Unlike service units, scope
units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off
processes on its own.</para>
<para>The main purpose of scope units is grouping worker processes
of a system service for organization and for managing resources.</para>
<para><command>systemd-run <option>--scope</option></command> may
be used to easily launch a command in a new scope unit from the
command line.</para>
<para>See the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/">New
Control Group Interfaces</ulink> for an introduction on how to make
use of scope units from programs.</para>

<title>Implicit Dependencies</title>
<para>Implicit dependencies may be added as result of

<title>Default Dependencies</title>
<para>The following dependencies are added unless
<varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> is set:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Scope units will automatically have dependencies of
type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
<varname>Before=</varname> on
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
that scope units are removed prior to system
shutdown. Only scope units involved with early boot or
late system shutdown should disable
<varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> option.</para></listitem>
