This makes syntax be the same for commands which are started by the manager and those which are spawned directly (when --scope is used). Before: $ systemd-run -q -t echo '$TERM' xterm-256color $ systemd-run -q --scope echo '$TERM' $TERM Now: $ systemd-run -q --scope echo '$TERM' xterm-256color Previous behaviour can be restored via --expand-environment=no: $ systemd-run -q --scope --expand-environment=no echo '$TERM' $TERM Fixes #22948. At some level, this is a compat break. Fortunately --scope is not very widely used, so I think we can get away with this. Having different syntax depending on whether --scope was used or not was bad UX. A NEWS entry will be required.
