+**mbusd** has [systemd](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd) support. (`sudo make install`) installs the (`mbusd@.service`) file on systems running systemd. 
+The **mbusd** service can be started via:
+
+	# sudo systemctl start mbusd@<serial port>.service
+
+To start the **mbusd** service on system boot:
+
+	# sudo systenctl enable mbusd@<serial port>.service
+
+Please check systemd documentation for other usefull systemd [commands](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd)
+
+The checked in (`mbusd@.service`) starts **mbusd** equivalent to the following command:
+
+	# /usr/local/bin/mbusd -p /dev/<serial port> -s 9600 -m 8N1 -P 502 -d -v2
+
+Feel free to modify the service file locally with your own desired configuration. Or if you have some spare time please implement service file generation via autoconf.
