Package: systemd
Version: 204-10
Doing a fork and becoming a daemon process are not the same.
Something like "Type=forking" in the *.service file is
ambiguous. Does systemd provide a controlling terminal to
the ExecStart job that has to be dropped, before forking
again?
Please clarify. The man page has a pretty weird description
of the "behavior of traditional UNIX daemons".
Many thanx
Harri

This is part of the Systemd API and will not be changed for frivolous
reasons. It will definitely not be changed as a Debian-specific patch.

It looks clear enough to me, but maybe you can persuade the upstream
maintainers to accept a documentation patch.
