Greetings all,
since the thread has already deviated from the original topic and touched inter alia on systemd, could someone please explain in simple terms the problem with systemd?
As I understand it, and I may be wrong, it is an attempt to provide a management framework for managing daemons, processes, and scripts during both a startup and subsequent execution of Linux. The reason I do not understand is that other *NIX systems do have a similar facility, e.g., Solaris has Service Management Facility (SMF), Apple has launchd. If these OSs, especially Solaris, which was innovative, invested time and effort, surely they did not do so without reason(s) and; therefore, such a framework has utility.
Please don to turn the response into "systemd sucks" and "Poettering is na a$$". I have read those, but still to not understand what is the problem. Is it poor architecture, bad implementation?
Kindest regards,
M
