<title>Description</title>
<para><command>run0</command> may be used to temporarily and interactively acquire elevated or different
privileges. It serves a similar purpose as <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sudo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but
operates differently in a couple of key areas:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>No execution or security context credentials are inherited from the caller into the
invoked commands, as they are invoked from a fresh, isolated service forked off by the service manager.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Authentication takes place via <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit">polkit</ulink>, thus isolating the
authentication prompt from the terminal (if possible).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>An independent pseudo-tty is allocated for the invoked command, detaching its lifecycle and
isolating it for security.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>No SetUID/SetGID file access bit functionality is used for the implementation.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Altogether this should provide a safer and more robust alternative to the <command>sudo</command>
mechanism, in particular in OS environments where SetUID/SetGID support is not available (for example by
setting the <varname>NoNewPrivileges=</varname> variable in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-system.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
<para>Any session invoked via <command>run0</command> will run through the
<literal>systemd-run0</literal> PAM stack.</para>
<para>Note that <command>run0</command> is implemented as an alternative multi-call invocation of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-run</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>

<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--property=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Sets a property on the service unit that is created. This option takes an assignment
in the same format as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
<command>set-property</command> command.</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--description=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Provide a description for the service unit that is invoked. If not specified,
the command itself will be used as a description. See <varname>Description=</varname> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--slice-inherit</option></term>
<listitem><para>Make the new <filename>.service</filename> unit part of the slice the
<command>run0</command> itself has been invoked in. This option may be combined with
<option>--slice=</option>, in which case the slice specified via <option>--slice=</option> is placed
within the slice the <command>run0</command> command is invoked in.</para>
<para>Example: consider <command>run0</command> being invoked in the slice
<filename>foo.slice</filename>, and the <option>--slice=</option> argument is
<filename>bar</filename>. The unit will then be placed under
<filename>foo-bar.slice</filename>.</para>

<listitem><para>Runs the invoked session with the specified environment variable set. This parameter
may be used more than once to set multiple variables. When <literal>=</literal> and

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--background=<replaceable>COLOR</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Change the terminal background color to the specified ANSI color as long as the

root, and in a yellowish tone when operating under another UID, as reminder of the changed

of <option>--pty</option>), or request passing the caller's STDIO file descriptors directly through
(in case of <option>--pipe</option>). If neither switch is specified, or if both switches are
specified, the mode will be picked automatically: if standard input, standard output and standard
error output are all connected to a TTY then a pseudo TTY is allocated, otherwise the relevant file

<listitem><para>Set a shell prompt prefix string. This ultimately controls the
<varname>$SHELL_PROMPT_PREFIX</varname> environment variable for the invoked program, which is
typically imported into the shell prompt. By default if emojis are supported a superhero emoji is
shown (🦸). This default may also be changed (or turned off) by passing the

<para>All command line arguments after the first non-option argument become part of the command line of
the launched process. If no command line is specified an interactive shell is invoked. The shell to
invoke may be controlled via <option>--setenv=SHELL=…</option> and currently defaults to the

<filename>/bin/sh</filename> when operating with <option>--machine=</option>.</para>

<para>On success, 0 is returned. If <command>run0</command> failed to start the session or the specified command fails, a
non-zero return value will be returned.</para>

<title>Environment Variables</title>
<para>As with <command>systemd-run</command>, the session will inherit the system
