<pre>With the .include mechanism, I can overwrite or delete the contents of a
directive, e.g.:
.include /lib/systemd/system/codesearch.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/codesearch -verbose
What I cannot do currently is extending the old value, e.g.:
.include /lib/systemd/system/codesearch.service
ExecStart=$ExecStart -verbose
This would be helpful (and at least two other people on #systemd also wished
for it when I asked).
Lennart (et al), is that something you’d accept? If so, how precisely should it
work? I.e. how should one refer to the old value? A format string value? A
pseudo-variable? A prefix of some sort?
Let me know and I’ll be happy to provide a patch.</pre>
