Since EnvironmentFile in a service isn't sourced by any shell, shell expressions in it will obviously not work the way that they did in a SysV style script.
Nor does it seems that the environment gets preserved between ExecStartPre (where one could run a script that sets environment variables to be later used in the starting of the service) and ExecStart, so something like the following won't work: [Service] ExecStartPre=/something/that/sets/var ExecStart=/some/file $var Is there some way to get dynamically determined data into the environment such that it can be passed to the daemon at start? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
