I wonder how systemd handles the startup time of a daemon once it did the execve (or whatever systemd does internally). Every daemon needs some time until it can service requests.
In the following example a socket is provided, a daemon handles the socket and another tool will use the socket. How can I make sure tool B will always find an operational socket handled by A? There is the obvious startup time required within A until it can service requests. What happens if B runs and tries to acces /path while A is still starting up?
