[systemd-devel] Side effects of `systemctl daemon-reload`?

[Daniel Wang]

I have cluster of 100s of nodes with systemd-232. To work-around a recently
discovered bug in systemd (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7798),
I want to deploy a timer to all my nodes that will check the number of
units and run `systemctl daemon-reload` once a certain threshold is hit
(100K for example).

I am asked whether I could have the timer skip the check and blindly run
`systemctl daemon-reload` at every invocation. Would there be any problem
with that? IIUC, reloading the daemon is a rather "safe" operation?
