Starting stunnel with systemd.

[peter@easthope.ca]

Hi,

After starting interactively, stunnel works.

To automate, this service file was created.

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/stunnel.service
[Unit]
Description=StunnelStarter
Documentation=man:stunnel(8)
After=network.target auditd.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf foreground=yes
Restart=no
Type=simple

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=stunnel.service

After booting, no stunnel.

$ ps aux | grep stunnel
root        1463  0.0  0.0   6244   700 pts/0    S+   09:31   0:00 grep 
stunnel

$ systemctl status stunnel

Terminated.  Why?

Thanks,               ... P.
