Why the need to kill/search for other instances? #717

I see here that you're first running killdups.sh here... do you remember your experiences that led to adding/needing that? I'm very curious why Systemd isn't isn't able to handle start/stopping a single process without getting confused... ie, I would think this would not be necessary... so I wonder if I'm missing something.

I plan to start running keyszer in systemd myself today or tomorrow but I thought I might just try and get out in front of this if I'm going to run into issues with duplicate processes....

If this is a common problem I think keyszer itself should perhaps ship an official wrapper or build in tools to deal with this - but first I'm so curious why it's a problem at all.

I don’t recall the specifics but obviously I had some difficulty w/ systemd not actually killing the process as it should have & leaving it running so I just wrote a quick script to kill it. I really hated implementing that when I did as like you I figured I just did something wrong in systemd that resulted in that ugly hack.

Ok, well I'll see how it works for me then (without a killer). I've added actual handling of a few signals as well to keyszer, so maybe that will help.
