Mmmh. Seeing [1], I really don't think that's a *service*. It's the kind of abuse that SysV scripts usually fall into. What do you want to accomplish? Less output in the console when booting with systemd? Then you can set the quiet *kernel* command line. If you want systemd to be more (or less) verbose, then you can pass it different arguments in the kernel command line; see [2]. > Is there a good online pointer about building service files? The guide in [3] is a start; but I don't think it will help you, since /etc/init.d/dmesg is not a service. Is a hack to control console output behavior jammed into the init system because why not.
