The "FRR" service unit is watchfrr ================================== "FRR" on the distribution/OS level is one service (generally called "frr"). Exposing individual daemons (zebra, staticd, bgpd, ...) as service units does not match FRR's internal expectations. At some future point, watchfrr will add functionality to receive "router bgp", "router ospf" etc. commands (or their YANG variants) and automatically start the required daemons. In particular with multi-instance setups, this will simplify config (no more mucking around /etc/frr/daemons - if watchfrr understands which daemons are needed by a given config, the daemons file is pointless.) This to some degree assumes an "integrated-config world".
