If there's another, synchronous way to reload the configuration this would be much neither to use. Note that killing via HUP is async, and hence if you issue "systemctl reload foo.service" the reloading might not be complete when the command returns. Of course many daemons only have the async way to reload the configuration, but I encourage people to think about the problem, and check if there is a sync way and if so make use of it. Please drop StandardError=syslog, as we now connect stdout/stderr of all services with syslog by default anyway. Also, if the user changes that global setting this service should honour that and not opt out of the default for no reason. Unless really necessary please drop After=network.target. Applications that just bind on 0.0.0.0 don't need to synchronize on the network. And apps that follow netlink network changes don't have to either. It's a good idea to make the system robust and minimize the influence external factors (such as the dhcp server being able to delay system bootup) can have on the system. > http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/deluge/deluge-webui.service The ">/dev/null 2>&1 &" is a shell construct and not understood by systemd. systemd will pass that as three parameters to your binary, which is probably not what you want. The "&" at the end indicates that you don't want Type=fork, but Type=simple here, which means you can drop the Type= line entirely, since that's the default anyway. Here too, please remove the StandardError=syslog and After=network.target lines. If deluge-webui tries to contact deluge it might make sense to order the latter after the former, and maybe unconditionally pull in the former by the latter: After=deluge.service Requires=deluge.service In the [Unit] section.
