But for unprivileged access to pidfiles the usual approach is to create a dedicated subdirectory under /run¹, either using RuntimeDirectory= or a full tmpfiles.d config, and tell the service to use "/run/myservice/myservice.pid". It might be simpler than touch+chown, and a bit cleaner. -- Mantas Mikulėnas <graw...@gmail.com>
