This -change makes Bitcoin Core more consistent with other services, and makes the -systemd init config more consistent with existing Upstart and OpenRC configs. - -The configuration, PID, and data directories are now completely managed by -systemd, which will take care of their creation, permissions, etc. See -[`systemd.exec (5)`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=) -for more details. - -When using the provided init files under `contrib/init`, overriding the -`datadir` option in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` will have no effect. This is -because the command line arguments specified in the init files take precedence -over the options specified in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`. |
