  By starting nscd in some shell session, there's no mapping between
running executable and a service.  Systemd has no way of knowing
that random nscd binary is supposed to be killed when 'systemctl stop nscd'
is invoked. How would it know?

  That is really the question! How systemd would know that unrelated
binary should be killed when user invokes 'systemctl stop' on service,
service which has not been started?  Is systemd supposed to compare full
path of all running binaries to ExecStart= lines in unit files? But what
about situation when you have multiple services with the same ExecStart=?

  Maybe user starting random binaries in login session should echo their
PIDs into 'tasks' file in relevant cgroup? What if the cgroup does not exists
yet (because service wasn't started)? This quickly becames a dangerous hackery.

  I'm all ears – what's your solution?
