init: adjust meyectl path if needed (#3011)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On Arch Linux, pip seems to not install Python modules/executables to /usr/local/bin but /usr/bin instead. In such cases, search the meyectl path in PATH and adjust the systemd service. Print an error if it could not be found at all.

Fixes: #3005
