+# This is necessary because bitmonerod does not yet support
+# writing a PID file, which means systemd tries to guess the PID
+# by default, but it guesses wrong (sometimes, depending on
+# random timing of events), because the daemon forks twice.
+# The ultimate fix is for the daemon to write a PID file, and
+# a workaround is to disable the guessing feature in systemd.
