CentOS - Oct 2014 - systemd service configuration

does adding a /lib/systemd/system/{unit}.service all I need in order to
add a service?

see example file for Tomcat that I plan to add at
https://github.com/wichtounet/systemd-unit-files/blob/master/tomcat.service

are any special permissions required for that file (execute)? 

TIA,


Igal

Yes but for service files that have not been introduced through package
management (ie rpm) the proper location is /etc/systemd/system

Note that any files in /etc/systemd will override ones in /usr/lib/systemd

No these are just configuration files rather than scripts that get executed
so no special permissions are needed.

After adding or changing a unit file do systemctl daemon-reload for systemd
to read in the changes.
