So the daemon restarts all the time. So let's tell systemd to disable

So I guess the man page is either lying or the disasble command is not
working as expected.
The part that you quoted even explicitly says that 'systemctl disable'
has no effect on the running system!
I interpreted that as "from now on, systemd will not restart the
service, but it will not stop the running service". So that when I
manually killed the daemon, I expected it to _not_ start it.....
"systemctl stop ipsec.service" is your friend NOT disable
But I don't want to _stop_ the service. I want the running service to
not restart when/if it dies.
disable controls if the service is started at boot or not
and has logically no effect on a running service because
"systemctl disable httpd.service" does usually not mean
"stop it now", it means "start it not on the next boot"
why?
because you can "systemctl start" a service which is not enabled
at all and if it contains "Restart=always" you normally expect
it to get restartet
Also see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/three-levels-of-off.html .
That page does not really show me an option on how to prevent a restart
_from now on_,
Since this still does not work:
systemctl disable ipsec.service
systemctl stop ipsec.service
systemctl start ipsec.service
This causes the restart behaviour to restart it again.
So my original question still is, can i temporarily disable
Restart=always without changing the service file on disk and sending a
system-daemon reload?
