I am sorry you take it that way. It was not meant to, and thinking about it again, I see nothing condescending in assuming, based on your statement, that you are not familiar with the obsession of a fringe of the Libre software developer community. > Besides, PERFECTLY, oh, well.

Well, your irritation made you do something dishonest: ridiculing a point of my discourse ignoring that I addressed exactly the same issue in the next paragraph. > I never said SysV's PID scheme is a good idea.

You can do all you want, PID 1 is still the only immortal process on the system. And if every single daemon must implement workarounds for the limitations of SysV init, I say this is a seriously flawed design. Regards, -- Nicolas George
