Services don't need to be patched and what do you mean with special configuration file? If you mean the .service file they are just the equivalent of the init scripts and are no configuration for the daemon. > It would be fairly simple to implement, start-stop-daemon could set an env > var > with it's own pid and the service could send a signal after listening to the > socket and before the accept(), that way before running the next service we > would be sure that the service is ready, and the services depending on that > can safely be started. This means patch upstream software to interface with start-stop-daemon? How is this any different than adding socket activation to an upstream project?
