Run command once daemon from service is ready

[omnigenous]

After resolving #410 I noticed that now service in question exits with status 0

It makes sense since first command is starting daemon and second does a thing and exists.

My question is how to keep monitoring daemon (first command) but still run command after daemon is ready (or the way I do it is to wait couple seconds and then run second command)

---

Instead I used created another service and used depends-on and that works but now I have second service exited (as expected)

[     {-}] second-command (exit status: 0)

But it gives wrong impression like something went wrong, should I just accept it?

What is a proper way to run command after daemon from service has started?

maybe it seems like feature bloat but ExecStartPre (and sometimes ExecStartPost) are nice conveniences to have especially for cases like this...

If you don't want a service to show as stopped once the process terminates, use a type = scripted service. (Again, this is covered in the documentation).
