https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/gpm.service?h=packages/gpm These should serve as a base (and it would be nice if someone upstreamed one of these, to unify distros around a single one and prepare for further improvements). Please also note that the gpm init script used in Debian[1] is not the one shipped by upstream[2]. The Debian version contains a home-grown config file parsing feature. This should rather be implemented by the daemon itself (if needed, or the config file deprecated). The gpm daemon is one of those long-standing things which likely contains alot of legacy code. It would be nice if the attack surface could be limited by applying some of the systemd security features to the service as a future further improvement. eg. Protect*, Private*, *Privileges, *Capabilit*, etc. See: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html Regards, Andreas Henriksson [1]: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/gpm.git/tree/debian/gpm.init [2]: https://github.com/telmich/gpm/blob/master/contrib/init/gpm.init
