+The `Type` directive is specified within the `Service` section. There are 6 different types;
+- **Simple**: The default if `Type` nor `Busname` are specified.
+- **Forking**: Used when the parent process exits immediately due to it forking. Systemd will know it's still running even though it exited.
+- **Oneshot**: When the process is short-lived and doesn't need to keep running. Systemd will wait on the process before starting other units.
+- **Dbus**: The process will be registered on the D-Bus bus.
+- **Notify**: Systemd will expect a notification from the process to signal it has started up blocking the execution of other units until the signal is received.
+- **Idle**: Service will not run ufntil all jobs are dispatched. #clarify
