I guess you need to dig deeper into what weston-launch actually does, 
and which are the scenarios when it should be used; the documentation 
isn't particularly helpful here, so maybe you need to ask the upstream 
developers.

Also, whatever fix you come up with, it should also be provided for the 
situation when a native systemd unit file is used instead of the init 
script (a patch for that has been posted here, and should show up in 
master shortly).
