[systemd-devel] How can I simply check that a service has been restarted ?

[Arian Van Putten]

I think what you might want is `Type=exec` instead of `Type=simple` in your
unit file.  It was recently added to systemd.

then `systemctl restart` will return a failure when the main process fails
to start. I hope that helps.
