Systemd sets $PATH to a fixed value for services[1], with /sbin before
/bin. But this shouldn't normally be visible in a user shell, unless
it is run directly as a systemd service.

You most likely have it running already. Try 'systemctl --user'.
If that prints a list, then you are communicating with the
systemd --user instance for your login id.
