A systemd unit for ucarp. This is a templated service; call it like `systemctl start ucarp@001` to start up ucarp using `/etc/ucarp/vip-001.conf`.

i'm curious why ucarp systemd template on centos7 (installed ucarp from epel) looks like this:

# rpm -q -a |grep ucarp
ucarp-1.5.2-11.el7.x86_64

# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/ucarp@.service
[Unit]
Description=Common address redundancy protocol daemon on %I
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
PrivateTmp=true
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/ucarp/ucarp

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target`

IMHO, your template looks more correct, the one from the official package looks wrong to me as every instance created just makes the unit description be different but imho cannot start another individual ucarp instance.

doesn`t it ?
