In this specific case runit doesn't export HOME when starting my service but looking at systemd and picking a random service like exim4.service I see: $ strings /proc/946/environ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin LANG=C _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=true PWD=/ I think it is safe to assume this applies to other services started by systemd as well. > And if it is not set / seems like a reasonable default. In Shell it would be "" but with >>resolveString: '' it seems to be / but that seems to be fair enough. E.g. as {home} / '.config' is used anyway. holger
