That's good. That's what you want.

If it requires environment variables like HOME to be defined, then you
might need to add those. Either in the unit file, or in the wrapper
script.
Looks like the systemd version uses an "Environment=" directive, from
systemd.exec(5). (The hardest part of all this is guessing which man
page each thing is in, because there are at least three separate man
pages -- systemd.unit, systemd.service, systemd.exec.)
