MMDVMHost-Private/linux/systemd

MMDVMHost Systemd setup

Preface

Since moving to Systemd many admins are struggling with the differences, in an effort to take the work
out of installing MMDVMHost on your linux host, I have written a service handler and the related systemd
unit files.

I hope these help you get going quickly. Written on / tested on / confirmed working on Raspbian Jessie-lite but should work just fine on any
system using systemd.

Enjoy, 73 de MW0MWZ
