Calling Brew Installed Application from Systemd Timer / Service

Hi,

So I've installed a service from brew that I'd like to set up to a systemd timer. I've configured the timer to call a specific shell script once every day and would like that service to run on the user level, so I've enabled the timer and started it via the
--user
--user
flag. This is good enough to do most user-level tasks such as file creation or logging or any application installed via layering.

However, one utility I want to call via timer is installed through
brew
brew
and is located in a the user folder
linuxbrew
linuxbrew
. This means that the executable is not added to my path automatically and results in an error. Trying to use the full path to the executable (which can be found by doing
which <servicename>
which <servicename>
also doesn't work.

Any advice for this particular problem? Is there some kind of file I can
source
source
to solve this problem and have all brew utilities available to my user-level systemd timer?
