The process of concern are running fetchmail that is calling into dovecot. If I do not stop dovecot the Mail dir will not be consistent. If I do not stop the fetchmail process then dovecot will be called and the backup can see an inconsistent state. How do I know this? Becuase I created bad backups in the past. systemd --user is great at running the fetchmail processes for the sand boxed email users. I just need to figure out how to stop them in a way that is "systemd" smart.
