Hi Kevin, There's honestly a mountain-load of crap here, so I'm going to snip most of them out. It would be nice if you could keep the propaganda-like walls of text, irrelevant examples, and disclaimers to the minimum.

I don't see systemd presuming to know anything about what the daemon does once it's started up. You on the other hand, seem to be spewing crap that implies that you think that the entire daemon is programmed inside the service file. > I would appreciate it if you would give this and my other posts some > reflection.

I think you have a problem. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
