And that command doesn’t run? I can see the right directory in your output:

So as root again, if you try:

systemctl enable rclone.service

you are back getting the same invalid argument error? I’m trying to think of everything to possibly check as we’re coming up pretty empty.

66

yes

root@onlines2m:~# systemctl enable rclone.service
Failed to enable unit: File rclone.service: Invalid argument
67

Ok. One more

systemd-analyze verify rclone.service

68

there is one more thing when i use:
systemctl status rclone as root i get a few errors.
when i use the same command is the user not the root i get zero errors ?!

is there any reason for that ?!

Can you share the output of:

cat -vet rclone.service
71

root@onlines2m:~# cat -vet rclone.service
cat: rclone.service: No such file or directory
root@onlines2m:~#

72

You gotta move first into the directory that contains the file:

cd /etc/systemd/system/

73

Are there \ after the commands? You need to us the 3 backtics to paste it in here.

So I took your exact file and tested an enable and disable.

root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system vi rclone.service
root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system systemctl daemon-reload
root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system systemctl enable rclone
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/rclone.service → /etc/systemd/system/rclone.service.
root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system systemctl disable rclone
Removed /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/rclone.service.

I basically copied your file from the post above.

root@gemini:/etc/systemd/system cat -vet rclone.service

At some point, you have done a reload right? If that doesn’t work, I’m not sure what else to check as you are past all my Linux ideas.
