[Nix-dev] Basic commands not found in shell script when run from systemd

[4levels]

Hi Domen,

Thank you for your quick reply, much appreciated!
Do I understand it correctly, if I put this line in the systemd
configuration

path = [ pkgs.procps pkgs.gawk pkgs.nettools pkgs.mysql pkgs.php
pkgs.duplicity];

I don't need to write the following inside the script itself?
script =

''
  export PATH="$PATH:${config.services.mysql.package}/bin"

  ...

Kind regards,

Erik
