I don't use wicd (or systemd) either, but you could have a look at what the |
| 37 |
systemd unit is attempting to run (assuming it isn't one of it's "special" |
| 38 |
type of units). Systemd units are just plain-text files. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Default unit location is |
| 41 |
/usr/lib/systemd/system |
| 42 |
(or you could try |
| 43 |
locate wicd.service |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
and the parameter you're looking for is ExecStart. |
