NAME         top

       systemd-boot-clear-sysfail.service - Clear LoaderEntrySysFail
       entry

SYNOPSIS         top

       systemd-boot-clear-sysfail.service

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
