hi

does this mean in recent systemd-versions it is no longer needed
to use "Type=forking" at all while it was a must for some servcies
in early versions?

i thougt a service which forks by itself and not defined
with "Type=forking" is killed after the PID changed because
systemd thinks the main-PID died
