    Sysinit was basically one file where you tell a process what to do, start, reload, stop. Systems is way way more complicated and according to some, prone to breaking.

      It’s funny, after your first sentence, I thought “yeah, that’s exactly the problem. Copy&paste fragile shell code for managing processes instead of standardized lifecycle management”. Then your second sentence painted that horrible mess as “less complicated”

      Thanks, and understood. Do you also know why this topic is trending right now? Systemd isn’t some brand new thing, so why the sudden outcry?
