+ <listitem><para>Takes a boolean value
+ that specifies whether systemd should
+ try to guess the main PID of a service
+ should if it cannot be determined
+ reliably. This option is ignored
+ unless <option>Type=forking</option>
+ is set and <option>PIDFile=</option>
+ is unset because for the other types
+ or with an explicitly configured PID
+ file the main PID is always known. The
+ guessing algorithm might come to
+ incorrect conclusions if a daemon
+ consists of more than one process. If
+ the main PID cannot be determined
+ failure detection and automatic
+ restarting of a service will not work
+ reliably. Defaults to
+ <option>yes</option>.</para>
