I am hijacking the thread because one minor inconvenience I have with sh -c
'exec foo' is that in journalctl the logging refers to 'sh':
For instance:

[Unit]
Description=Git backup
ConditionPathIsDirectory=%h/backups/gitbackup

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'exec %h/mine/script/gitbackup -v save'
Nice=19
IOSchedulingClass=best-effort
IOSchedulingPriority=7

gives me the log:

Oct 08 21:35:43 mithrim sh[9680]: [master 54c23ae]
Oct 08 21:35:43 mithrim sh[9680]: 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
 
Do you know of any way to get 'gitbackup' in the log rather than 'sh'?
