Makes perfect sense to me.

How about generalizing ExecStartPre and ExecStop in a similar fashion?

It may be a good idea to make the order of execution well defined, by =
exporting LANG=3DC in  *hooks.sh (or the sysconfig file, if that's =
actually sourced first - I admit I still have to learn about how systemd =
works).
