The cleanest solution would of cause be to make the jvm exit with 0.
But if that is
not possible you can prefix the ExecStart path with a minus
(ExecStart=-/usr/bin/java...).
This way the exit status is ignored and the service should end up with
status exited.

Note that you don't need this line as simple is the default type

> EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/cruisctl
> User=cruisctl
> WorkingDirectory=/var/cruisecontrol
> ExecStart=/usr/bin/java $CRUISCTLOPTIONS
> #ExecStart=/tmp/test.sh $CRUISCTLOPTIONS
