I've seen people prefer type=forking over type=simple for the sake of checking syntax before starting *depending* units. I'm not particularly convinced myself that this is valuable, but whatever it's worth, ExecStartPre should achieve the same goal (depending units are not started if syntax check fails). _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
