UXG-Pro - udm boot fails to start due to invalid characters in udm-boot.service

[Firstyear]

Describe the bug When running systemctl start udm-boot, the service fails to start.

The error is as follows:

Oct 09 13:53:59 uxg-pro-bne1netblackhatsnetau systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/udm-boot.service:11: Executable name contains special characters: mkdir -p /mnt/data/on_boot.d && find -L /mnt/data/on_boot.d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 -r -n 1 -- sh -c 'if test -x "$0"; then echo "udm-boot.service: running $0"; "$0"; else case "$0" in *.sh) echo "udm-boot.service: sourcing $0"; . "$0";; *) echo "udm-boot.service: ignoring $0";; esac; fi'
Oct 09 13:53:59 uxg-pro-bne1netblackhatsnetau systemd[1]: udm-boot.service: Unit configuration has fatal error, unit will not be started.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/blob/main/on-boot-script/README.md
2. Fails to enable/start the service.

Expected behavior udm-boot to start.

Per internet research I removed the ' ' between execstart and the = to attempt to resolve.

It may be simpler to break out this script to a seperate .sh file and thene have ExecStart trigger it rather than relying on the shell embedding in the unit file.

It also looks like https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main the readme shows:

[on-boot-script-2.x](https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main#on-boot-script-2x)
Do this first. Enables init.d style scripts to run on every boot of your UDM. Includes examples to run wpa-supplicant/eap-proxy and/or ntop-ng on startup. Follow this [readme](https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/blob/main/on-boot-script/README.md).

But if you look the readme it points to is the older boot script.
