Type=idle
Behavior of idle is very similar to simple; however, actual execution
of the service program is delayed until all active jobs are dispatched.
This may be used to avoid interleaving the output of shell services
with the status output on the console. Note that this type is useful
only to improve console output, it is not useful as a general unit
ordering tool, and the effect of this service type is subject to a 5s
timeout, after which the service program is invoked anyway.
