Hi *,
I keep my own systemd unit files in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system. Enabling them creates a link from the unit file in this directory to for example multiuser.target.wants. But editing them with systemctl edit --full and writing back the edited file creates a new file with the modified contents in /etc/system/system and leaves my file in /usr/local/lib/systemd/system untouched. So I have two files with different contents from now on, which is at least confusing. Is that really the intended behaviour of systemctl edit? Or am I doing something wrong?
I'm not sure what you mean by editing units, but maybe the Editing provided units section would be helpful? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd#Editing_provided_unit_file Regards. --- ┏━━┓彡 野宮 賢 mail-to: nomiya @ lake.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "She continues to deeply divide opinion, nearly a decade after her death in 2013, due to her policies of privatisation, breaking the power of trade unions, and selling off public housing." -- World Is One News --
