references the executable file and it’s arguments to run when the service is
started.

This syntax is inspired by shell syntax, but only the meta-characters and
expansions described in the following paragraphs are understood, and the
expansion of variables is different. Specifically, redirection using "<", "<<",
">", and ">>", pipes using "|", running programs in the background using "&",
and other elements of shell syntax are not supported.
