To do it proper systemd way, you should do the following: # directory name is crucial mkdir /etc/systemd/system/minissdpd.service.d # file name is not important cat > /etc/systemd/system/minissdpd.service.d/override.conf << EOF [Unit] After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp7s0.device sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp6s0.device Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp7s0.device sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp6s0.device EOF systemctl daemon-reload Just to be free of the formatting errors, you should create one directory, and add three lines to one file inside it.
