This is what I did before, but in an effort to make the
"sub-supervision-tree"
independent of whatever init-system/service manager is used for the main
tree,
I tried what I described.

Since there is no elegant solution to this,
I will resort to do as you suggest.

A second application for this fifo trick is to have a supervision tree
launched as the child of a graphical session, e.g. a wayland compositor,
to start things like a notification daemon or wallpaper software,
requiring the wayland compositor (and e.g. ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}) to be set up.
For this application, ist what I proposed the "least bad solution"?

Thank you and have a nice evening

Paul
