Ok, reviving this conversation! I ran into the issue that user "mythtv" can not create the file "/var/run/mythbackend.pid". I see other services that have their pid file owned by their own user... Also, user "mythtv" can't write to the log file in /var/log/mythtv/ How do I do this with systemd? I assume I can update the ownership of /var/log/mythtv during package install, but I don't know what I can do about /var/run...
