  - The last thing that is taken into account is whether the unit is a service
    and socket-activated. If `X-StopIfChanged` is **not** set, the service
    is **restart**ed with the others. If it is set, both the service and the
    socket are **stop**ped and the socket is **start**ed, leaving socket
    activation to start the service when it's needed.
  - The last thing that is taken into account is whether the unit is a
    service and socket-activated. A correspondence between a
    `.service` and its `.socket` unit is detected automatically, but
    services can **opt out** of that detection by setting
    `X-NotSocketActivated` to `yes` in their `[Service]`
    section. Otherwise, if `X-StopIfChanged` is **not** set, the
    service is **restart**ed with the others. If it is set, both the
    service and the socket are **stop**ped and the socket is
    **start**ed, leaving socket activation to start the service when
