   Adds support for running node.js as a socket-activated service under systemd.
 
   More info on the how and why: http://savanne.be/articles/deploying-node-js-with-systemd/

   Obviously, this will only work on Linux distributions with systemd (such as Fedora).

 ## Usage
-  
+
   You can install the latest version via npm:
-
-    $ npm install systemd
+
+```sh
+$ npm install systemd
+```
 
   Require the systemd module and pass 'systemd' as a parameter to listen():
 
-    require('systemd');
+```javascript
+require('systemd');
+
+var http = require('http');
+http.createServer(function (req, res) {
+    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
+    res.end('Hello World\n');
+}).listen('systemd');
+```
 
-    var http = require('http');
-    http.createServer(function (req, res) {
-        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
-        res.end('Hello World\n');
-    }).listen('systemd');
-
   Install a systemd socket file (e.g.: /etc/systemd/system/node-hello.socket):
 
-    [Socket]
-    ListenStream=1337
+```ini
+[Socket]
+ListenStream=1337
 
-    [Install]
-    WantedBy=sockets.target
+[Install]
+WantedBy=sockets.target
+```
 
   Install a systemd service file (e.g.: /etc/systemd/system/node-hello.service):
 
-    # Adjust according to man 5 systemd.exec
+```ini
+# Adjust according to man 5 systemd.exec
 
-    [Service]
-    ExecStart=/path/to/bin/node /path/to/hello.js
-    StandardOutput=syslog
-    User=nobody
-    Group=nobody
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/path/to/bin/node /path/to/hello.js
+StandardOutput=syslog
+User=nobody
+Group=nobody
+```
 
   Be sure to substitute the paths to node and your script!
 
+  * ⚠ __Run node directly__ or make sure your startup helper scripts
+    can hand over the sockets. `npm start` [probably won't work][issue-11].

+
   Reload the systemd daemon so that it picks up the new unit files:
 
-    systemctl --system daemon-reload
+```sh
+$ systemctl --system daemon-reload
+```
 
   Enable and start the socket:
 
-    systemctl enable node-hello.socket
-    systemctl start node-hello.socket
+```sh
+$ systemctl enable node-hello.socket
+$ systemctl start node-hello.socket
+```
 
   Check the status of the socket:
 
-    # systemctl status node-hello.socket
-    node-hello.socket
-          Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.socket)
-          Active: active (listening) since Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:27:47 +0200; 2s ago
-          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.socket
+```sh
+$ systemctl status node-hello.socket
+node-hello.socket
+      Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.socket)
+      Active: active (listening) since Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:27:47 +0200; 2s ago
+      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.socket
+```
 
   Great, it's running!
 
   Check the status of the service, not running yet:
 
-    # systemctl status node-hello.service
-    node-hello.service
-          Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.service)
-          Active: inactive (dead)
-          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.service
+```sh
+$ systemctl status node-hello.service
+node-hello.service
+      Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.service)
+      Active: inactive (dead)
+      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.service
+```
 
   Do a request to your service:
 
-    # curl -i http://localhost:1337/
-    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-    Content-Type: text/plain
-    Connection: keep-alive
-    Transfer-Encoding: chunked
-
-    Hello World
+```sh
+$ curl -i http://localhost:1337/
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Connection: keep-alive
+Transfer-Encoding: chunked
+
+Hello World
+```
 
   Check again, now it will be running:
 
-    # systemctl status node-hello.service
-    node-hello.service
-          Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.service)
-          Active: active (running) since Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:32:10 +0200; 38s ago
-        Main PID: 1159 (node)
-          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.service
-                  └ 1159 /path/to/bin/node /path/to/hello.js
+```sh
+$ systemctl status node-hello.service
+node-hello.service
+      Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-hello.service)
+      Active: active (running) since Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:32:10 +0200; 38s ago
+    Main PID: 1159 (node)
+      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/node-hello.service
+              └ 1159 /path/to/bin/node /path/to/hello.js
+```
 
 ## Only listen to systemd when running under systemd
 
   You can make the systemd usage conditional by checking for the systemd environment variable:
 
-    var http = require('http');
-
-    require('systemd');
-
-    var port = process.env.LISTEN_PID > 0 ? 'systemd' : 1337;
-    http.createServer(function (req, res) {
-        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
-        res.end('Hello World\n');
-    }).listen(port);
+```javascript
+var http = require('http');
+
+require('systemd');
+
+var port = process.env.LISTEN_PID > 0 ? 'systemd' : 1337;
+http.createServer(function (req, res) {
+    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
+    res.end('Hello World\n');
+}).listen(port);
+```
 
   This makes it possible to run the script stand-alone in development, yet use systemd when started through systemd.
