How about binary system logs.and less flexible
That one always baffled me. Our log rotation method works wonderful.
All my logs are human readable and old logs are archived.

Launchd is, in my mind, an awful system
Launchd is particularly nasty as if it fails its error messages are about as useful as stating "? error ?".
I’m curious. Care to explain why it’s such an awful system? And do you have any empirical evidence to support such claims?
Again, I’d like to see some citations supporting such claims; other than anecdotal speculation.
Today, most systems are no longer administered; they are mass-produced, their configuration is stamped out on the software equivalent of assembly lines, and they are monitored by automated systems.
Let's see an OS as a basic tool to do IT. These "structuring decisions" were made by Linux owners (IBM/RedHat, Oracle etc.pp.) to sell their manpower... Once your customers have deployed your tool/solution widely, they are forced to follow any change under the hood, because they can not switch the tool so easily. It's not uncommon that a company has even lost control about their own data and rely on external consultants to access it... Naturally, all big & small IT consulting companies support such change & praise it to their customers to "ease IT management & save resources". Haha...However, when things go wrong, human "resources" have to solve the issue. This is why I find it quite stupid to create tools that make the job of humans more difficult in an already difficult situation, whereas automation software can work equally well with user-friendly tools. But it is not surprising: in all areas (not just IT), structuring decisions are always made by people who will not have to deal with their consequences.
Launchd is an Apple thing right? So it surely has only been tested on the consumer desktop by a bunch of non-professionals or students putting music on their ipods.many different real world scenarios.
The «fat» argue is the ironic part of my post (I hope it was obvious ...)Well, FreeBSD's init.c has ~2k LOC... Would you call that fat, too? Some issues were discussed above (previous pages). What's wrong with exploring & evaluating runit?

Its configuration is done via XML files. That alone makes it awful. And that's not speculation. That's my lived experience managing a fleet of nearly 15,000 Macs. launchd is awful. Give me systemd any day over launchd. systemd's configuration files are at least logically organized and make sense.I’m curious. Care to explain why it’s such an awful system?

Apple has a plist editor; it's a wonderful tool to help you. Trouble is it's in Xcode - another bloated piece of </sarcasm>Its configuration is done via XML files. That alone makes it awful.

and spend days understanding the guff it produces.but Linux is UNIX-like, just like Minix.
mjollnir Just found out antiX has a runit brand: https://mirrors.evowise.com/mxlinux-iso/ANTIX/Final/antiX-19/
Hate to burst your bubble, but Linux is UNIX-like, just like Minix.
And because their ancestor isn't a PDP-7, doesn't make them not UNIX-like.
Remedy - The Black CrowesI've just given Antix a try. OMG! It's a good remedy for even the strongest urge to adopt Linux...
launchd on macOS very cool.Too many disadvantages.
nosh on FreeBSD very cool.
Not having Reddit posts on FreeBSD Forums [is] very hot.nosh on FreeBSD very cool.
Are you a troll?launchd on macOS very cool.
systemd on Linux very cool.
nosh on FreeBSD very cool.
LOL. He might very well be, but one thing's for certain, he does like complex init systems...Are you a troll?
