Folders #
| Folder | Description |
|---|---|
/etc/systemd/system/ |
[suggested] for admin/root user (local config) |
/usr/lib/systemd/(system/) |
for repo installed packages (using e.g. RPM) |
/lib/systemd/(system/) |
(/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib) |
/run/systemd/system |
runtime units |
Note: “runtime units”: the ability to make modifications to a process (unit) during the current boot without that change/modification persisting across a reboot.
Tip: check which package a file belongs to:
- for RPM (Cent/Fedora/RHEL):
rpm -qf /usr/lib/systemd/system/* |sort -u | head - for Debian/Ubuntu:
dpkg -S /lib/systemd/system/* |sort -u | head-S==--search- This command will not list extra files created by maintainer scripts, nor will it list alternatives.
- or:
dpkg-query -S ...
