why does my systemd-services not work?
 

independent of the use of Type=simple,fork or oneshot systemd
always kills my services, the process is fired up and "status"
says "deactivating (stop-sigterm)" reuslting in the process is
killed after a short time

if i start the "/usr/bin/mpd" manually as root it starts, drop
permissions (switch to user mpd) and runs in background forever

the same happens with everything i try to migrate from sysv
to systemd except two perl-services :-(

Try "forking", not "fork"

thank you! in this case it was really a typo
but "dbmail-imapd" is/was correct with "forking"

you can see the master-porcess and a child shortly in ps aux but
after a few seconds systemd changes to "deactivating (stop-sigterm)"
and is killing the processes

When the main PID of the service exits, the default action is to kill
the whole cgroup.
The question is why did the main PID exit in the first place.

i can not answer this question :-(

strange is that the service unchanged is running at the moment
i have seen it one time also on boot start sucessful
but since with old sysv the service never stopped to work i am unhappy
