Hi all,
Niklas and Stefani, thanks for sharing your systemd unit configuration.
It came just at the right time :-) I put together a similar one. Using
the foreground option (-f) of procServ is the recommended way with
systemd. My unit configuration [1] differs in some details:

> ConditionFileIsExecutable=/usr/bin/procServ 
> ConditionFileIsExecutable=/usr/local/ops/iocBoot/ioccontrol/st.cmd
This causes systemd to silently skip the service if one of these files
is not executable. Stefani, are you sure that's the behavior you want? I
would prefer it to fail with an error message instead (remove these two
lines).

I'm using "Restart=always" to make sure procServ is restarted
automatically even if it exited cleanly. I don't want users to find out
that they are not able to restart procServ after they shut it down by
pressing Ctrl-Q.

Note how systemd makes our life as developers easier: Daemons don't need to
- fork
- write PID files
- drop privileges by themselves
Systemd takes care of all these things for us :-)

Cheers,

Martin
