Not easily in this way, as I don't have systemctl/systemd on this
machine.
(Apart from manual invocation like `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all runuser -u
geoclue -- /usr/libexec/geoclue', I've written a quick init script;
attached, in case it's of interest for others.)

Right.

One additional observation: With 2.5.6-1, I can
* start with no geoclue-daemon and no demo-agent running
* call where-am-i (or redshift -p)
* and get a result (plus a running daemon)

Ok, so let's try again:
- Upgrade the geoclue packages to 2.5.7-1.
- Accept the new config (plus the redshift stanza).
- Make sure no geoclue-daemon, geoclue-agent, or redshift is running.
- Start the daemon.

- Check that the daemon is running, wait a minute or three.
- Start demo-agent.
- Meanwhile the daemon said:

- And no more daemon in the process list, now just the demo-agent is
running.
- Kill demo-agent.
- Start the daemon (same output as before).
- Start the demo-agent 45 seconds later.
- daemon says:

- and then:

- At this point (the agent is still running but) the daemon process
stopped.
- Next try: Start daemon, sleep 45 seconds, run where-am-i (with no
agent before).
- After the 45 seconds the daemon says:

- But the daemon is still running. And stops a bit later with the
"Service not used" message.
- Next try: start daemon, sleep 25 seconds, start agent, run
where-ami-i. - daemon says:

- where-am-i says:

(timeout)

When I uncomment the url and submission-url in the conf file, the
complaints about them missing unsurprisingly go away, but the daemon
still complains about

and shuts down 60 seconds after the last client (where-am-i)
connection.
And then I ran out of ideas and downgraded to the version in testing.
Sorry for this long description; maybe it gives you some ideas …
Happy to do other tests!
Cheers,
