I understand that some services work that way. However, I don't think that this is the best design for a firewall service. Is there some way to force the internal state to be recorded? Let's say there is a security fix for the firewall service which needs to be applied. The daemon will need to be reloaded.

Sorry, this comment lost context: I didn't mean that the timeout implementation was poor. I meant that if the service were dbus activated, it could stay running if it continued to have things to do, and exit (maybe after a brief wait) if not. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
