Doing a fork and becoming a daemon process are not the same.
Something like "Type=forking" in the *.service file is
ambiguous. Does systemd provide a controlling terminal to
the ExecStart job that has to be dropped, before forking
again?

Please clarify. The man page has a pretty weird description
of the "behavior of traditional UNIX daemons".


Many thanx
Harri
