It's can be used when starting weston as a systemd unit. - notify systemd about startup via sd_notify (READY=1) - notify systemd that it's still alive via WATCHDOG=1 - notify systemd about shutdow using STOPPING=1 An example unit file is being prepared upsteam: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2017-November/035973.html Since we already link against libsystemd no new dependencies are introduced and the module needs to be loaded explicitly so no risk for running installations.
