I have looked around the forum and web in general and have not found a script for starting XBMC directly with systemd (there are several scripts for upstart as such). I am sure there is a few users that would like to see it appear as well.

I have tried to get it working, but does not even start not to mention getting suspend and company working...

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it!

there are several around the web and this forum. Afaik Arch linux ships one by default
