Path based activation is one of the simpler types – it waits for inotify
events on the specified locations, and starts your service on any events.
Note that it *does not* forward the event information to the service – that
needs to be handled by the program itself.
foo.path:
[Path]
PathModified=/tmp/something.txt
foo.service:
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/cp -av /tmp/something.txt /tmp/backup.txt
# systemctl start foo.path
# echo Hello > /tmp/something.txt
# ls -l /tmp/{something,backup}.txt
