Sorry, this doesn't work as expected. To reproduce the problem:

1) Start a service with a good config
2) Edit the config. Make a typo.
3) Attempt to reload the service. At this point, systemd will put the 
whole service into a "failed" state.
4) Fix the typo.
5) Attempt to reload the service.

Expected result: service reloaded with the new config.
Actual result: systemd doesn't let me reload the service.

Also, when starting a service, systemd tests the config twice for some 
reason. And it is really strange that in the system log with 
systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg, systemd attempts to 
fork the main command before the check finished and thus seems to run 
the main command in parallel with the check. In other words, I doubt 
that the correct thing is tested. I suspect that "the executable is 
found" fact is tested, not "the command executed successfully".
