Special start / stop functionality in, for example, `ifupdown-pre.service` which
spawns a shell to run a small inline script referring some variables. This
happens because the translator assumes there's always a `/path/to/binary

    Revised stats for Socket after letting socket-activate handle
    filesystem paths:
    
      Tested: 6
      Excluded: All explicit systemd-* units
      Successfully starting: 5
      Ratio: 0.83
    
    Failure patterns:
    
      syslog.socket fails because it does not provide a service unit in
      `/lib/systemd/system`
