Have you seen all the different variations of keys that can go in a unit file? Have you noticed that a lot of them seem to do the same thing on viewing the names
Often times concepts are related but different. This can lead to names that are similar, but different. Especially true in complex fields, which services management is. Claiming otherwise is just hand-waving away a bunch of actual issues.
but you need to read some pretty voluminous documentation
Now having "voluminous documentation" is a bad thing? It's *really* superb documentation. Far better than trying to parse a shell script and remember what each bit of arcane punctuation does.
to understand when to use each key. Back in the day, we used to say, "RTFM" to those unwilling to learn how software works.
I guess now, "Ask ChatGPT". Learning (and using) all the obscure commands and syntax of a shell script (better feed it to an external site so it doesn't blow up in my face... https://www.shellcheck.net/ ) is fine, but RTFingM is a bridge too far?
