## Zeppelin and systemd

### Unit file installation / deinstallation

This script accepts two parameters: `enable` and `disable` which, as you might have guessed, enable or disable the Zeppelin systemd unit file. Go ahead and type:

```
# ./bin/zeppelin-systemd-service.sh enable
```

This command activates the Zeppelin systemd unit file on your system.

If you wish to roll back and remove this unit file from said system, simply type:
```
# ./bin/zeppelin-systemd-service.sh disable
```
