I understand that, but I want the service to be restarted on success, not on failure. By that I mean that if my ExecStart process (the actual service) ever terminates with a 0 exit code, I want the whole thing to restart, beginning with the ExecStartPre. But I DON'T want the 0 exit code from ExecStartPre to restart anything, because that's not the actual service. -- Ciao, Paul D.
