I assume that this is just a script that does some post-processing on
log files. In that case, I suggest that you use Type=oneshot with
RemainAfterExit=no (the default). Then the service will actually wait
until your script completes. Type=simple is expected to be used for a
service that doesn't exit under normal conditions.
