Well, there are the following paragraphs from the systemd NEWS file From v228 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS#L3926 * In unit files the behaviour of %u, %U, %h, %s has changed. These specifiers will now unconditionally resolve to the various user database fields of the user that the systemd instance is running as, instead of the user configured in the specific unit via User=. Note that this effectively doesn't change much, as resolving of these specifiers was already turned off in the --system instance of systemd, as we cannot do NSS lookups from PID 1. In the --user instance of systemd these specifiers where correctly resolved, but hardly made any sense, since the user instance lacks privileges to do user switches anyway, and User= is hence useless. Moreover, even in the --user instance of systemd behaviour was awkward as it would only take settings from User= assignment placed before the specifier into account. In order to unify and simplify the logic around this the specifiers will now always resolve to the credentials of the user invoking the manager (which in case of PID 1 is the root user). From v209 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS#L6855 * %h, %s, %U specifier support is not available anymore when used in unit files for PID 1. This is because NSS calls are not safe from PID 1. They stay available for --user instances of systemd, and as special case for the root user. >> Can you attach the full .service file please. > > Here is the .in version that is then configure-d into the .service file Thanks. So with the above, what you should get is that %h is resolved to /root, as you run that service as a system service. Or is %h not expanded at all? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
