You're not hearing what I'm saying. Check what's relevant; it's not systemd's concern what you check. I you need to do a transactional check of an IMAP server from a separate process or thread, then do that. Only report back to watchdog if you've verified what you consider to be a healthy state. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
