True. Since I'm only packaging the daemon, I can just guess its written as it is to make sure the daemon can remove the PID file independent of the platform its running on and how it was invoked. > But for unprivileged access to pidfiles the usual approach is to create > a dedicated subdirectory under /run¹, either using RuntimeDirectory= > or a full tmpfiles.d config, and tell the service to use > "/run/myservice/myservice.pid".
