There are also described predefined services. + +Under the hood enabled service in VM is signaled by file in /var/run/qubes-service. This can be used to implement almost enable/disable **per-VM** switch controlled by dom0. Adding support for systemd services is pretty simple: + +1. Disable old service: `systemctl disable ` +2. Create `/etc/systemd/system/.service` file containing: + + ``` {.wiki} + .include /lib/systemd/system/.service + [Unit] + ConditionPathExists=/var/run/qubes-service/ + ``` + +3. Enable new service: `systemctl enable `. + +This will cause service to be started only when you enable it with qvm-service for given VM.
