The correct way to do this is to create the file with contents like the following: [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/gpm --my --options The first ExecStart= line is a special case that tells systemd to unset the ExecStart parameter completely so you can override it (instead of adding additional commands to run on startup). - -- Jonathan Callen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTI/FyAAoJELHSF2kinlg44e8QAJkLXFOr0Dm5KE2fSw01+2JA bSY56oZXoRV1d3dlzM7bfCMDRFTPW4MDWv1+qb6AdH/7+tcb8H/pk2pEgbJtjBw3 4oK9uIJOcwYXPlOZU8bVcwQ70cXItlET7waok0h1u0o7WDDabVJi+HFKWMhpHEH1 JYM9HnTMx8qujfBxvbOHuOenBRZXpejqrVqo82UPmf2Ot8I+YS5+ACb7Qm3znqFu 02fbkb9nfbonqL3YDliqlv3MavCuHBQUCKGFtYtWoEjr0V+GGv+pqHgPzefWcT0F EBMeCOA506bJHgHs+zam010BXlXt+9okr22S5Scvcv/vUIFu7X1AhCcgEfMkTY0o VdFFq0uPncyH51Xnc2GD9+NzYY1ddJu6xA+ysLzJz2JMe0EXRJf67dl2Zp3i/Y48 FegAevX34VzilkkBeC4ArP1yPoOXQccy/+lyQT3Q1e5Xwp/65jX0/R8RxIycTIZz vYEc1o84X56ZfvnfzPAr5m0dF9Rg6CUEx0RfDS9mI2VsnjsWOS6otvmfgfGqvBsq aFnrakCh6ZEcvtd1j76yHy3U1rbhbC0kjuaEkjICvCWmNzeQJabqRN1w9Kam5dvF Dureh8SSP3JtxpY7f945yBlmNqewYCjHrjg0BSTlaTXMMLIfrBf11QuEp7vS4s1l 7mNWKZP2+HqooMu7WCsJ =ZfwZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
