It is extremely well documented in `man systemd.service` and `man systemd.unit`. Read the option descriptions in the section pertaining to what you want to do of each, look at the examples, and you should be good to go.
- sametmax 10y agoAnytime somebody mention a man file as "good documentation", I feel the same as somebody pointing assembly code as "easy to understand". The simple medium make it not "easy". Yes, it's great to have a good man file if you have nothing else, just like it's nice to have a wooden wheel if you don't have a rubber tire, but come on.
- minitech 10y agoDid I say it was good documentation because it was in a simple format? No. It’s good documentation because it’s thorough, well-organized, and comes with lots of examples. That it’s a man page has nothing to do with it (except for the convenience of getting `man systemd.<tab>` autocomplete).
- JdeBP 10y agoActually, it's fairly mediocre doco; and manual pages are reference doco, not tutorials or user guides. That said, two of us have already pointed out in this discussion where other doco exists for the subject at hand, outwith reference manual pages.
