The goal was to be able to start/stop pypilot without using sudo. Pypilot in openplotter 2 works as systemd service and non-sudoers users are prompted for the password when any action requires sudo but sudoers users (like the pi user in Raspberry OS) have to do nothing. You may be right, the alternative to stop pypilot using systemd is just killing it in a dirty way. Let's keep systemd, no problem.
The rescue button is also shown during the openplotter startup process and you have some seconds before some openplotter "services" start to block them. This was added thinking of the notifications app where you can accidentally set non sense actions that can brick your system. I will remove it for pypilot because there is not much risk of bricking anything.
The usual (and massive) use case for boatimu in openplotter is users that do not use pypilot, they just have a IMU to send heading and attitude data to signal K, they do not need anything else. What is the expected use of boatimu in pypilot?
