sorry my fault 8).. i thought it was silently failing and you have to 
check syslog for errors..

Mirkos ExecConfigTest= idea seems to solve this issue perfectly.. what i 
really like: now the configtest-procedure only has to be defined once.. 
and so your unit file will be more readable compared to the very first 
version..

thanks for the unit file.. i will use it soon 8)

cheers, marius..
