This arguments specifies a file where grub-btrfsd should write log messages.
* `-s / --syslog`
* `-o / --timeshift-old`
Look for snapshots in `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs` instead of `/run/timeshift/$PID/backup/timeshift-btrfs.` This is to be used for Timeshift versions <22.06.
* `-t / --timeshift-auto`
This is a flag to activate the auto detection of the path where Timeshift stores snapshots. Newer versions (>=22.06) of Timeshift mount their snapshots to `/run/timeshift/$PID/backup/timeshift-btrfs`. Where `$PID` is the process ID of the currently running Timeshift session. The PID is changing every time Timeshift is opened. grub-btrfsd can automatically take care of the detection of the correct PID and directory if this flag is set. In this case the argument `SNAPSHOTS_DIR` has no effect.

NOTE: This works also for Timeshift versions < 22.06, the path to watch would be `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots`.
By default the daemon is watching the directory `/.snapshots`. If the daemon should watch a different directory, it can be edited with
```bash
sudo systemctl edit --full grub-btrfsd
