I didn't find anything either, So I just wrote up this little (untested) example: You need to create at least two unit files, amanda.socket and [email protected]. The socket file tells systemd which socket to create and the service file what executable to start. Based on the xinetd configuration file that comes with Fedora's amanda rpm they should look like this or something similar: amanda.socket: [Socket] ListenStream=10080 # listen for a stream (tcp) on port 10080 both on ipv4 and ipv6 Accept=yes # spawn a new instance for each incoming connection [Install] WantedBy=sockets.target # the unit is disabled by default, but can be enabled with systemctl enable amanda.socket [email protected]: [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/amandad -auth=bsdtcp amdump # the binary to start with arguments User=amandabackup # the user Group=disk # the default group If you start amanda.socket, for each incoming connection systemd spawns a service named something like amanda@<host-ip>:10080-<client-ip>:<port>.service. I haven't tested this and probably missed something so no guarantee at all, but it should give you a start. For further information on what the options do take a look at the man pages. Especially systemd.socket, systemd.service, systemd.exec and maybe systemd.unit should be of interest for you.
