University of Toronto ☛ Some thoughts on switching daemons to be socket activated via systemd
Socket activation is a systemd feature for network daemons where systemd is responsible for opening and monitoring the Internet or local socket for a daemon, and it only starts the actual daemon when a client connects.

A number of Linux distributions are a little bit in love with switching various daemons over to being socket activated this way, from the traditional approach where the daemon handles listening for connections itself (along with the sockets involved). Sometimes this goes well, and sometimes it doesn't.
