Re: [yocto] [PATCH] ecryptfs-utils: Modify systemd service file to 'simple'.
ecryptfsd is a resident program, i.e. daemon. According to systemd documentation, Type=oneshot/RemainAfterExit=yes should be used for programs that do not remain working after exit. But for daemons we should use Type=forked to indicate that the service remains running in background. ecryptfs provides option -f to run in foreground. This option is preferred when the service is started from init/systemd. That is why we use Type=simple (default) to indicate that the service runs in foreground. To manage the service properly systemd uses its type. E.g. if ecryptfsd silently dies, systemd will recognize its failure in case of simple or forked, but not in case of oneshot.
