[erlang-questions] run_erl and systemd

[Alexander Petrovsky]

Hi!

Looks like you observe very strange behaviour, we run our erlang release in
OpenStack ubuntu instance, with follow systemd config and everything works
fine:

[Unit]
After=network.target remote-fs.target
Requires=network.target remote-fs.target

[Service]
Type=forking
TimeoutStartSec=0
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
Environment=HOME=/root
ExecStart={SCRIPT} start
ExecStop={SCRIPT} stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note that run_erl complain when HOME var is not defined. Also, I suggest
try to get rid of User and Group.
