Hello.
There was a time when the developers were working on the WSL vers. 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux),and they hadn't developed SystemD yet. And I remember well that there was an external developer that had created a dirty but working hack to add it to WSL2. Yesterday I thought,why not try to adapt it and make it work on Linux (on the CentOS,maybe or on Ubuntu) that we have installed on our Linux emulation layer on FreeBSD ? I'm a hobbyist,I'm not sure if it is really needed. I want to leave the judgement to you. In the meantime I'll paste the script. I'm not able to adapt the script for the purpose only by myself,but I can help....
