# systemd-run is used to create resource limited tasks. such tasks are in separate cgroup and won't get affected by box start/stop.
# However, we want task to not run when box code is stopped. If dashboard is down, nothing should run in the background.
# Besides, if tasks do continue running, box code needs complex state reconcilation logic on start up.
# To stop tasks on box stop, we could use BindsTo=box.service. While this stops all tasks on systemctl stop, it restarts tasks on systemctl restart!
# Another approach was to use --scope but this is incompatible with --wait (and then we have to start polling status to get exit code)
# So, the implemented solution is to kill the tasks manually on exit by handing SIGTERM with KillMode=mixed which calls stopAllTasks
# As an additional precaution, box start also calls stopAllTasks

# it seems systemd-run does not return the exit status of the process despite --wait but atleast it waits
