This fixes two problems: 1) systemctl may not live in /usr/bin/systemctl but in /bin. This is what I got on my Debian Bullseye that was upgraded over many generations: systemd[1]: Starting wg0-reload.service... systemd[1609458]: wg0-reload.service: Failed to locate executable /usr/bin/systemctl: No such file or directory systemd[1609458]: wg0-reload.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/systemctl: No such file or directory systemd[1]: wg0-reload.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC systemd[1]: wg0-reload.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: Failed to start wg0-reload.service. After this change: systemd[1]: Starting wg0-reload.service... systemd[1]: Reloading WireGuard via wg-quick(8) for wg0. systemd[1]: Reloaded WireGuard via wg-quick(8) for wg0. systemd[1]: wg0-reload.service: Succeeded. systemd[1]: Finished wg0-reload.service. The docs for ExecStart say https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html : [...] either an absolute path to an executable or a simple file name without any slashes So this is OK, and works fine as tested here. 2) Using "reload" instead of "restart" avoids breaking existing connections.

Does it work for every distro? My ubuntu server gave errors |
|
Ubuntu 22.04 has this line in the [Service] portion of wg-quick@.service def: Ubuntu 20.04 does not. |
Doesn't work for me on Ubuntu 20.0.4. But if in wgui.service I put: it works fine. |
