Yes

Still open:

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.

So i guess the client does not timeout or something until the server comes up ?

I guess this is the sentence which answers all my question. Forgive my
ignorance, i tried to put my understanding into "event signalling that
a socket connection has been made"  .... nevermind
