Service file location wrong #7

Closed QuadeHale closed 3 years ago

QuadeHale commented 3 years ago

/etc/systemd/system is the location for root-level systemd scripts. Your service file should live in /lib/systemd/system instead.

Thanks. I will think it over.

I am still leaning to leaving it as is because not a lot of user know how to use Linux. For the Linux masters... I can understand the view but do you think this is best so user created account can executed the services without root?

Thoughts?

Going to close. If there is a strong stance to set this differently, then I am all for it but I feel this is opinionated (nothing wrong with that btw).

You've got it backwards. Only root level service files should go in /etc/systemd/system. User level (general) service files should go in /lib/systemd/system.

Files in /etc/ with the same name override ones in /lib/. When making a new one, always put it in /lib/.

Only the location changes, permissions don't.

Thanks QuadeHale... I will switch them around. :) Sometimes we forget some basics :P
