[systemd-devel] not running ExecStop= when stopping "activating" services?

[Nekrasov, Alexander]

Hi All,

With these settings

[Service]
ExecStart=/cli run
ExecStop=/cli stop
Type=forking
PIDFile=/tmp/cli.pid

The service is active once "cli run" exits. A call to systemctl stop then produces a call to "cli stop". This is as expected.

However if I call "systemctl stop" on this service before "cli run" exited, i.e., when the service is still activating, the service is stopped, all threads are killed off, but "cli stop" is never run.

Is that as intended? Why? Is there a way to change this behavior?
