+Debugging with pdb
+==================
+
+In order to break into a regular pdb session on a systemd-controlled
+service, you need to invoke the process manually - that is, take it out
+of systemd's control.
+
+Discover the command systemd is using to run the service::
+
+  systemctl show devstack@n-sch.service -p ExecStart --no-pager
+
+Stop the systemd service::
+
+  sudo systemctl stop devstack@n-sch.service
+
+Inject your breakpoint in the source, e.g.::
+
+  import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
+
+Invoke the command manually::
+
+  /usr/local/bin/nova-scheduler --config-file /etc/nova/nova.conf
