Systemd unit files can exec shell scripts…

There have been times where I needed to do something that wasn’t available in the unit file syntax, so I just do it in a shell script and ExecStart that.

I suppose, can you arbitrarily replace portions of systemd with scripts, though?

If so, perhaps it is less of a problem than it used to be.

It still doesn't fit every need but it's better if it can get out of the way when told to.
