Systemd pyload.service errors

Question

Hi all,
I moved to systemd successfully and want to use it to start pyload - I followed the wiki page
The service seems to start for less than a minutes and then stop, See below the terminal output of "sudo journalctl -n"

And the pyload.service file:
[Unit]
Description=Downloadtool for One-Click-Hoster written in python.
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/pyload/pyload.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pyLoadCore --daemon
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
User=sweetth
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Many thanks for your time and assistance,

Hello sweetthdevil,
I had the same problem and I solved it. If you start pyload as a user, you'll find the pyload.pid file in your home folder. So you have to edit the PIDFile entry:
PIDFile=/home/$USER/.pyload/pyload.pid
