Avahi alias systemd service. The first file is the script to be run, which you can store in your home directory. The second file is the systemd unit file which goes in /etc/systemd/system. Make sure on line 6 it references the location of the first file, and that you run systemctl daemon-reload after editing the unit file.

	avahi-publish -a -R $hostname $local
