            Bug ID: 87287
           Summary: path units should express a need for the unit they
                    activate
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Path units having either PathExists=, PathExistsGlob=, or DirectoryNotEmpty=
should 'want' the unit they trigger as long as the path-condition is met. That
way, a triggered unit can have StopWhenUnneeded=true to be truly path-based
activated.

For example, with foo.path specifying PathExists=/foo and foo.service having
StopWhenUnneeded=true, the service should be started whenever /foo exists or
comes into existence and stopped whenever it is deleted. Currently, foo.service
is stopped immediately when it is started by foo.path because it is not needed
(anymore).
