One case I can think of is starting a long-running process in the initrd/initramfs on a system that eventually runs systemd. For example, running live from an ntfs partition using ntfs-3g. If you want the process to survive (so you can unmount everything cleanly after systemd exits) then the command name needs to start with "@": https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/RootStorageDaemons/ OTOH, calling the command via a symlink should also work.
