> Actually, systemd cannot detect the main process in all cases. If you use Type=forking (without specifying a PID file) and your daemon starts many processes at once before exiting in the parent, then we don't know which one of the remaining ones the "main" one should be.
I wasn't speaking to detecting the main PID, only what is happening in terms of all forking behavior. When a process forks into a ton of other processes in the way you describe, there is no amount of collectable data on the system that allows properly identifying the main PID every time.
