Sounds like systemd us trying to start, it fails, it retries and retries (StartLimitIntervalSec=0 so it will try forever) every second (RestartSec=1). However I just noticed that the path to the PIDFile might be incorrect. Try: ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/timeout -k 1 5 /bin/bash -c "while :; do [ -e /home/mystic/semaphore/mis.bsy ] && break; /bin/sleep 1; done; exit 0" ....or even: ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/timeout -k 1 5 /bin/bash -c "while :; do [ -e /home/pi/mystic/semaphore/mis.bsy ] && break; /bin/sleep 1; done; exit 0" ....to ensure that the path to the PIDFile is correct. And don't forget to run: sudo systemctl daemon-reload ....after changing the mis.service file to ensure that systemd notices the changes.
