systemd will not react to stdout messages, but it does have Type=notify
which will react to a "READY=1" message sent via Unix socket – ideally
directly by the program (see sd_notify, $NOTIFY_SOCKET) but also possibly
via the `systemd-notify` tool:

    sd_notify(0, "READY=1");

    systemd-notify --ready
