I agree but more than that why should I waste my time, I have no
intention of ever writing a .service file or anything much longer than
one-liners else I'd say that something is wrong in one of a few places
and most likely the program design.
I get the plus of my scripts running on any system, even Windows or a c
loop embedded device.
Plus I stop services with the likes of pkill as when service stop fails
I would prefer to know how anyway and can use them on any system or with
any favourite of myself or others whether it's monit, nagios etc. etc.
or any shell.
