To my knowledge, mysql does not implement the proper systemd interfaces 
for this to work reliably. That is, the mysql socket might be 
unavailable even though the server is started - there is a window 
between the two events (been there, done that).

Socket activation is really the thing here, resolving the race condition 
with a missing socket.  IMHO, mythbackend should implement this natively 
(and mysql, but that's another list).

Not tested, but it seems that these days systemd-socket-proxyd(8) could 
work as a wrapper converting a traditional server to a socket-activated 
one until they implement it by themselves.

Cheers!
