The man pages don't make it clear to me what the required syntax is. systemd.unit(5) talks about systemd-escape style escaping, specifically for generated unit names. And systemd.service(5) talks about escaping (including double quotes) in the COMMAND LINES section, but that seems to be only for command lines. Maybe quotes aren't necessary here, as in other fields like [Unit]/Description?
There's another issue with the service file. The binaries specified by ExecStart=, ExecReload=, and ExecStop= must be absolute paths, see systemd.service(5): > COMMAND LINES > > The command to execute must be an absolute path name. It may contain spaces, but control characters are not allowed. Words in command lines *are* allowed to be quoted.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=209abddaf0f7253cb29886cf5dba1d7ffcc14f5c commit 209abddaf0f7253cb29886cf5dba1d7ffcc14f5c Author: Ian Stakenvicius <axs@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2018-04-25 14:53:00 +0000 Commit: Ian Stakenvicius <axs@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2018-04-25 14:54:31 +0000 sci-biology/foldingathome: fix systemd unit This isn't a perfect fix since if the EPREFIX path contains characters that need to be quoted the paths will still fail, however when compared to a systemd unit that doesn't work at all this is significantly better than nothing.
