If you need extra customization capabilities, just run a shell script via the ExecStart= parameter and boom, you have all the power of systemd and the shell combined.

You can even do one better since systemd can natively run rc scripts. If you're on a systemd based distro peak at /etc/init.d. You can even manage services with /etc/init.d and the service command.

The amount of effort systemd went through to make existing software work is genuinely heroic.
