To clarify, by "systemd doesn't help with that", I meant "systemd does not attempt to manage, track service dependencies of, or restart applications I launch through my desktop's Applications menu or in a Terminal window".
Which is a good thing! Even though my browser uses/"depends on" audio, I still don't want systemd to restart it without warning if PulseAudio dies.
- zaarn 7y agoYour browser can encode that it doesn't have to restart if pulse dies. Wants= will try to ensure Pulse is started but if Pulse cannot start or crashes, that's fine. Requires= will ensure pulse is started but doesn't do anything if it crashes. Only BindsTo= will stop the browser if pulse crashes.
