Hi KatolaZ,

there are several inits (plus surrounding code like startup scripts) that
do not require a hack like that. Systemd is just one of those and I am
fully aware of that. Sorry for not making that clear in the original post.

And yes, checking for shutdown in a service is a hack. Things like that are
a maintenance nightmare in the long run, especially when they start to get
copied into other services.

Best Regards,
Tobias
