And if additional option Restart=on-failure is defined in [Service], the
unit will be restarted again immediately. So, user will get unit, that
will be active due to RuntimeMaxSec=, then it will be marked as "failed"
and, if additional option Restart=on-failure is defined, will be
restarted again... failed...restart and so on for eternity. Right?
