Usar a ponte de soquete requer um daemon com patches que possa manipular o soquete que é fornecido.
De man socket-event
:
When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the job in question to allow it to accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket.
Embora normalmente o sshd simplesmente crie um soquete e execute listen () e aceite () nele, o sshd só precisa ler a variável de ambiente UPSTART_FDS e aceitar ().
