# NOTE: if systemd complains with "monerod.service: Failed to read PID from file /var/lib/monero/monerod.pid: Invalid argument"
# From https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html
#  "In case more than one process remains, systemd will be unable to determine the main process, so it will not assume there is one.
#   In that case, $MAINPID will not expand to anything.
#   However, if the process decides to write a traditional PID file, systemd will be able to read the main PID from there.
#   Please set PIDFile= accordingly.
#   Note that the daemon should write that file before finishing with its initialization.
#   Otherwise, systemd might try to read the file before it exists."
