Description

Subsystem Server

Systemd can create sockets (TCP, unix domain and more) for services, see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.socket.html Could this be supported? The socket doesn't disappear when the service is restarted (connections get queued) and it also helps with dependencies between services.
