why does my systemd-services not work?

[Reindl Harald]

thank you! in this case it was really a typo
but "dbmail-imapd" is/was correct with "forking"

you can see the master-porcess and a child shortly in ps aux but
after a few seconds systemd changes to "deactivating (stop-sigterm)"
and is killing the processes
