Restart is triggered if they process goes away and in the case of
"Always" this happens even if the process gives back a
successfull 0
like after "killall processname"
So I gather that Restart is triggered only if the process goes away
***for reasons other than a stop having been issued***.
I suggest that the man pages be modified to say that.
Maybe like this?

The change shown is not bad, but I might say something like
"... other than the Stop command being issued..."
There are other reasons why a unit can be stopped: if the unit Requires
a second unit that was stopped, if isolate is requested, and so on. For
me, "a Stop command being issued" seems to take into account only the
case of this specific unit being stopped.
