I recently ran into an similiar issue. The config file /etc/default/gearman-job-server is not referenced in systemd service unit file, but could be included like this: EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/gearman-job-server ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gearmand --pid-file=/run/gearman/server.pid --log-file=/var/log/gearman-job-server/gearman.log $PARAMS It would be great if that could somehow find its way into the debian package. Please also note that there is no longer any need to hardcode the --listen parameter in the service file, since it is already defined and included through /etc/default/gearman-job-server with the above configuration.
