Systemd service status if ExecStop or ExecStopPost fails?

Will the overall unit status be failed if either ExecStop or ExecStopPost fail? I would expect it to be so, but the documentation isn't very explicit about it.

Yes, the unit will enter the failed state if either one of those failed.

You verify this with a test unit like this:

[Unit]
Description=ExecStop failure test

[Service]
ExecStart=echo I might just fail in a sec!
ExecStop=exit 1
ExecStopPost=exit 1

Documentation wise, apparently this excerpt in ExecStart applies to all the Exec directives:

If one of the commands fails (and is not prefixed with "-"), other lines are not executed, and the unit is considered failed.
