<p>For new comers like me it took some time to understand that the
word "Type" has two</p>
<p>meaning in systemd context.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The first: from "man systemd.service"<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#Type=">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#Type=</a></p>
<p>> Type: Configures the process start-up type for this service
unit. ....</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The second from "man systemctl"</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html#-t">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html#-t</a><br>
</p>
<p>> <span class="term"><code class="option">-t</code>, </span><span
class="term"><code class="option">--type= </code></span><span
class="term"><code class="option">The argument should be a
comma-separated list of unit types such as <code
class="option">service</code> and <code class="option">socket</code>.

<p><span class="term"><code class="option">Maybe the docs could be
improved to make this more clear?</code></span></p>
