updated the command sequence and location of the service file

[ronsmits]

The systemctl structure has been changed since 2018. I updated it to the current way of working.

Is there some upstream documentation explaining why this path would be preferred? And if so, since which version of systemd?

As far as I can tell /var/run/ is a symlink to /run, which is a tmpfs mount. So anything you put there will disappear after reboot.

That seems to match Redhat's documentation (emphasis mine):

/run/systemd/system/ | Systemd unit files created at run time. This directory takes precedence over the directory with installed service unit files.

The same information is mirrored in upstream documentation:/man/systemd.unit.html

/etc/systemd/system | System units created by the administrator
/run/systemd/system | Runtime units

I'd encourage you to wrap this PR up in the next week or so as we're in the process of transitioning the documentation from the current Markdown-based source format to Asciidoc. At some point soon — probably around the end of June, beginning of July — we will freeze the current documentation repo. After that time contributions and PRs based on the Markdown source will not be accepted, and any PRs that are still open will be closed.

See #1911 for full details.

Anyone against merging?
