    ok weird one myapp.service was fine until todays server patching. Now it wont start:

    the status line says status=217/USER. I didnt touch the unit file. did the update change something underneath?

    The update touched a bunch of packages, sooo it could be anything. Ive checked that the binary is still there and still runs by hand as root. Is there a good way to see what changed for myapp.service specifically? pls help 🙏

    ahh classic after editing, always sudo systemctl daemon-reload and then sudo systemctl restart worker.service. systemd-analyze verify /etc/systemd/system/worker.service catches syntax mistakes. good luck man!

    ok so systemd doesnt use your shell environment. no PATH from .bashrc, no cd, no aliases. Use absolute paths in ExecStart, set WorkingDirectory=, and put variables in Environment= or EnvironmentFile=.
