Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2015-10-09 10:49:17 UTC 
It's not easy in systemd to detect if a service is idle. So far the best advice is to stop epmd@<ip-address>.service and the corresponding socket manually.

I believe we should close this ticket as CANTFIX.

See the discussion in fedora-devel on that matter:

Comment 4 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-10-09 12:25:37 UTC 
You can use:

[Service]
ExecStop=....

in order to use an external script to cleanup after you. I think there are also other keywords to trigger scripts or commands Before or After Stop.
