	Main PID: 23521 (rsyslogd)
	  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rsyslog.service
		  └─23521 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5

Comment 2 Michal Sekletar 2013-12-10 12:08:14 UTC

Some changes has been proposed upstream to mitigate this behavior but we agreed that we are not going to patch over the fact that user is doing something inherently racy here (applies to stopping to all services activated by rather busy sockets). But afaik stopping rsyslog via service command shouldn't make noise anymore because of changes in rsyslog. Closing as WONTFIX.
