I would have thought a scripting language would have been a better choice than unit files. The script engine would take care of verifying the script and starting the processes in the correct order and allowing/restricting access to other components. Thereby negating the need for such directives as After= or PrivateTmp=.

A scripting language isn't well suited for process management, which is a very well specified task.
