I guess I didn't explain myself correctly, but this just changes our machind service check to do the same we do for logind. That is, machine1 service must be enabled (listed by ListActivatableNames). If it is, it must already be running (reported by ListNames) or systemd must be running. Are you saying we should properly handle situations when a service we want to talk to is already running, but cannot work because systemd is not running? I would expect the service never be running in such case as it would just fail to start without systemd.
