You must be confusing systemd unit files with something else: /lib/systemd/system/mpd.service: [Unit] Description=Music Player Daemon After=network.target sound.target [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/mpd ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon $MPDCONF [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target This is the classic .ini format, very easy to read without having any knowledge of shell scripting (or any other programing language). > without all literature one can find on shell scripting, and without a > proper introduction and migration doc).

You're aware of course that Debian is one of the last big distros to switch to systemd, with the notable exception of Ubuntu (who was using upstart anyway). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd#Adoption Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
