Ok, I did readwww.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html and am still confused. What is it? If it helps, let' suse a real application: I create in /etc/systemd/system/ the home-ducker.{,auto}mount files. Where does this unit file go with respect to them? Is it one of them
Think of it as object inheritance ...
All systemd 'objects' are units and have the general unit file stanza and syntax in them:
[Unit] Description=blurb goes here Documentation=man page name here Requires=dependencies generated from here After=network.target
And so on - see man systemd.unit for full details.
After that section depending on the type of unit you are working with (timer, service, mount, etc) there will be an appropriate section with entries specific to that:
[Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=true ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ifup dummy0 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip link set multicast on dummy0 ExecStop=/usr/sbin/ifdown dummy0
Does that make more sense?
