Systemd prefer daemon be started as foreground without using syslog. We can do this with fcron.

As Dave suggested on IRC, fcrondyn allow connections to daemon via socket.

$ ll /run/fcron.*
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-08-14 21:01 /run/fcron.fifo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 2012-08-14 21:01 /run/fcron.pid

We should add fcron.socket to complete a correct bootup.

I looked into code and there only cons to start in background (fork+session) as systemd.exec prerequisite on fork are not reached.
