> Ugh, sorry. You asked for the [Unit] section, not the [Service] section. From what I see, it doesn't yet seem to be possible: [/etc/systemd/system/test.service:2] Unknown lvalue 'Environment' in section 'Unit' [/etc/systemd/system/test.service:4] Path in condition not absolute, ignoring: $TEST You can always use some kind of hackery in ExecStartPre, but I don't think that's what anyone wants.
