+ <option>main</option>, <option>control</option> or
+ <option>all</option> to select whether to kill only the main
+ process, the control process or all processes of the
+ unit. The main process of the unit is the one that defines
+ the life-time of it. A control process of a unit is one that
+ is invoked by the manager to induce state changes of it. For
+ example, all processes started due to the
+ <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>,
+ <varname>ExecStop=</varname> or
+ <varname>ExecReload=</varname> settings of service units are
+ control processes. Note that there is only one control
+ process per unit at a time, as only one state change is
+ executed at a time. For services of type
+ <varname>Type=forking</varname>, the initial process started
+ by the manager for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is a
+ control process, while the process ultimately forked off by
+ that one is then considered the main process of the unit (if
+ it can be determined). This is different for service units
+ of other types, where the process forked off by the manager
+ for <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is always the main process
+ itself. A service unit consists of zero or one main process,
+ zero or one control process plus any number of additional
+ processes. Not all unit types manage processes of these
+ types however. For example, for mount units, control processes
+ are defined (which are the invocations of
+ <filename>/usr/bin/mount</filename> and
+ <filename>/usr/bin/umount</filename>), but no main process
