Good idea!

Don't forget to cover stopping services ;-)
As well as any dependent/plugin services that may have been started by
any services you started. Personally, I'm having a little issue with
fcitx5 starting mozc_server but mozc_server keeps running after fcitx5
stops. Arguably an fcitx5 issue, though.

Another point is dealing correctly with multiple logins into the same
user account, be they local from a different VT or GUI display or from a
remote login.

Still working on getting things sorted out for my own setup :-)
