Please do not use environment files for that. Simply add or remove unit drop-in files. i.e. if you want to make minor changes to a unit file foobar.service then add /etc/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/50-quux.conf or so, and add the necessary settings there. "systemctl edit" helps you in doing so, and make this easy. > EnvironmentFile=/home/raghu/system.env > *WorkingDirectory=${SERVER_PATH}* Please read the documentation about EnvironmentFile=, its environment variables configured what is passed to the executed processes, and may be referenced in the ExecXYZ= line, but not in any other configuration lines. THis is because the precise environment is determined at the moment of activation, and settings generally have a broader definition than that.
