I have many custom service files that I control with systemctl and up until today I have been putting these .service files in /usr/lib/systemd/system/
, however today I obtained a new program and it automatically created the .service file in a location I didn't think of - /etc/systemd/system/
.
Is this where I should have been putting the service files I have created myself? Both directories appear to work, so ultimately I know it doesn't make a difference, but what does convention dictate? Is there a more correct location to have these custom service files?
