I have not found exact duplicates for
How do symlinks work in systemd unit files (and when/why wont they)?
Specifically: How to inherit settings from a systemd unit to a newly created template?
but do believe that it is sufficiently complicated to warrant 1-2 quite detailed Q&A on askubuntu, unix&linux or here on serverfault.
My specific use case is likely only relevant to managing IT in a business env and the unexpected behavior may be changed in systemd anyway, but a good generic answer will likely help many others on any of those sites for as long as older current versions are in use.
- Where do I post my question (I intend to provide atleast a partial answer)?
- May I stuff my question with the other on-topic use cases to make the question more generally useful to potentially related problems like this one?
