[systemd-devel] WorkingDirectory=~ not interpreted by systemd

[Benoit SCHMID]

Good morning,

I have set the following service:
[Unit]
Description=SAP XXX
After=autofs.service blk-availability.service local-fs.target
network-online.target ora_lsnr_XXX.service remote-fs.target
Wants=ora_lsnr_XXX.service

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/sap_XXX
User=xxxadm
Group=sapsys
ExecStart=/sapmnt/XXX/exe/nuc/linuxx86_64/unige-startsap
ExecStop=/sapmnt/XXX/exe/nuc/linuxx86_64/unige-stopsap
Restart=no
TimeoutStopSec=5min
TimeoutStartSec=5min
Type=forking
WorkingDirectory=/home/xxxadm

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

It works fine.
If I run systemctl show, it show WorkingDirectory=/home/basadm.

If I set :
WorkingDirectory=~
it does not work any more because the process runs in a wrong directory.
If I run systemctl show, it does not show the "WorkingDirectory=" line.

What am I doing wrong, when I set WorkingDirectory=~ ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

PS: # systemctl --version -> systemd 219
