Instructions let's save a text file named "test.sh" having the following content #! /bin/bash for i in `seq 50` do    echo $i    sleep 1 done it just print number from 1 to 50 second by second (you can change 50 to any number) now as regular user type chmod +x ./test.sh systemd-run --user --unit=my-test ./test.sh  the above command will run the script as a user service called my-test at any time you can trace it with systemctl and see the logs using journalctl like this journalctl -ln 100 -f --user-unit=my-test systemctl --user status my-test you can abort it using systemctl --user stop my-test Use cases Let's assume you have a web interface that trigger something and you want to trace it later just make your unprivileged web application (written in php/python and running as regular non-root user) called "systemd-run --user" and query the status and follow the logs using systemctl and jour
