10 months ago I guess the config is shown on the logs because I have generated it with log level 8

10 months ago Even in case of no stream available, motion would loop forever waiting for picture to be available. But in your case the process exits because of:
[0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] [Jan 06 11:59:26] sig_handler: Received signal 15.
The OS sends SIGTERM to motion.
Please check syslog in order to see who and why kills motion. maybe it's OOM?

10 months ago I'd guess it is because systemctl requires daemon to be off. Documentation reference
