Hi, Novice question: A service that can be run under systemd is given. On the one hand, it is possible to check the configuration before starting, e.g. "sshd -t". I would like a systemd configuration file that contains the configuration check. For this, the '[Service] ExecStartPre=' directive seems appropriate. However, I would like this to work when releasing a 'systemctl restart sshd.service'. My problem is this: Since, as far as I know, under systemd the restart is actually a stop and a start call issued consecutively, stop *stops* the service, and start is shocked to find that the service cannot be started due to a misconfiguration if someone edits the configuration as recklessly as I do. This would make restarting less trouble because the system will *work* with the old configuration. If I also adopt systemd's ExecStop feature, I feel like I'm pretty much going into a stinging forest. Can this task be solved? If systemd had ExecStop[Pre,Post] and/or config test, life might be simpler. Thank you in advance for your help.
