I am firmly against this. The idea with systemd units is really *not* to be turing complete programs, but purely declarative, hence integrating shell expressions natively is really against their whole idea. I know that Upstart allowed integrated things with shell, but it's a design decision of systemd not to do this. That said, you can already do what you want, by encoding shell programs in the /bin/sh -c command lines: ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "...." Sorry, but I am strongly against adding more support for shell than this. |
