Np. One other thing is that anybody using journald would probably |

appreciate logging to stdout. |

Forking with a PIDfile is actually a preferred mode of operation, |
| 11 |
since then you know it is ready to accept connections. |

Making sure the parent doesn't die is especially important if you do |
| 14 |
things like timer units (basically a systemd version of cron). I |
| 15 |
tended to fork off processes from scripts from cron and you can't do |
| 16 |
that with systemd unless the parent waits for all the children to |
| 17 |
finish. The better way to do it is just write multiple scripts and |
| 18 |
let them start in parallel. When a parent dies, the unit is |
| 19 |
considered done, and all its children are meticulously killed off. |
