Systemd notification does not wait when 0 is specified

[mvorisek]

Some services like mysql server use 0 for timeout which should imply, based on the official systemd/systemd#10501, infinity wait

Example config:

[Unit]
Description=MySQL Community Server
Documentation=man:mysqld(8)
Documentation=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/using-systemd.html
After=network.target
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
[Service]
User=mysql
Group=mysql
Type=notify
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStartPre=+/usr/share/mysql-8.0/mysql-systemd-start pre
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld
TimeoutSec=0
LimitNOFILE = 10000
Restart=on-failure
RestartPreventExitStatus=1

The docker-systemctl-replacement must wait at least DefaultMaximumTimeout (as defined in systemctl3.py) when 0, 0s or infinity is specified.

Yes, that should be in the next version.

Looking for "infinity" it seems that using "0" is an undocumented feature of systemd.

Such things are quite usual in the systemd world, so I'll put that also on the list of checks that the systemctl-replacement script will show a warning for.
