example service file
Hi,
I'm using systemd 207 on an Archlinux.
When using %h and setting User= to an user which does not exist, I get the
following, non-descriptive error in my journal:
test.service failed to run 'start' task: Cannot allocate memory
See the attached service file for an example. Probably, the user check should
take place before %h gets substituted or so.</pre>
