ecbff1

ecbff1
+    with the settings above. In that case the already created service process will exit with a non-zero exit code
ecbff1
+    before the configured command line is executed. (Or in other words, the child process possibly exits with these
ecbff1
+    error codes, after having been created by the 
ecbff1
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fork</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> system call, but
ecbff1
+    before the matching 
ecbff1
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>execve</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> system call is
ecbff1

ecbff1
