Hello Jorg, I was not aware of this page, but after skimming the page it is not what I need in this situation. The majority of the commands on this page are invoked as attributes of "systemctl" which is the command line tool to inspect, modify and manage systemd in a running system. I'm not sure why yet some commands are included that AFAIK are more appropriately invoked within a Unit config file, but maybe those commands can be invoked in both situations. But, since these systemd environment commands are to be run from within systemctl, they're basically ways to modify a running environment interactively, they're not the way to setup and modify the environment on bootup. In systemd, environment variables can be setup during boot, primarily in the ".target" Unit files, but because systemd is uniquely fully compatible with other Linux subsystems, almost all the "traditional" ways to setup, modify and run is supported. In openSUSE' case, it's migrating from the well known SystemVinit subsystem, so until legacy init and bash ways of invoking code are replaced, they are a perfectly legitimate way of doing things, still. So, that is why in my previous post I described how I "traditionally" used the bash script way of creating an environment variable (/etc/profile.local) and then tested to make sure it works... So that doesn't appear to be more problem. Instead, I believe the problem sounds explicitly Elasticsearch code when the following very specific error was returned elasticsearch.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=3/NOTIMPLEMENTED Could have been any error, but one so specific?
