Clear loaderentrysysfail entry

Usage

systemd-boot-clear-sysfail.service

Overview

systemd-boot-clear-sysfail.service is a system service that automatically clears the 'LoaderEntrySysFail' boot loader entry if the boot was successful and the 'LoaderSysFailReason' EFI variable, which indicates the reason for the system failure, is not set.

The systemd-boot-clear-sysfail.service unit invokes the bootctl --graceful set-sysfail "" command, which clears the LoaderEntrySysFail entry. The service is conditionalized so that it is run only when a LoaderSysFailReason entry is not set.

For further details see bootctl(1), regarding the command this service invokes.
