You can extend any unit file in systemd by creating a subdir in /etc/systemd/system/ named after the unit, but suffixed with ".d", and then dropping a .conf file in there. Files like this will be read after the main unit file has been read and its settings can hence override or extend the settings from the main unit file. For instance units systemd will look for both the .d/ directory of the instance and of the template. Hence: mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/[email protected] echo "..." > /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/foobar.conf systemctl daemon-reload Allows you to extend the definitions in [email protected] by your own settings.
