Does it means that even ExecStartPost and especially ExecReload can always safely use $MAINPID? I.e. does systemd call these Execs only after it managed to read the the pid file even when the file is written after the initial ExecStart process exited? And yes, Type=pid-file will be very useful. I have exactly a shell script that will benefit from it nicely. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
