How about containers? When I launch mariadb I'd prefer that it happen in milliseconds, not tens of seconds. That includes setting up interfaces, populating /dev, getting an ip, launching ssh, syslog, etc, and so on, oh, and mariadb. > The other thing I keep hearing from systemd proponents is stuff about > how it allows you to parallelize startup.

I hope you aren't running openrc then. It doesn't launch in a predetermined order. I will agree that you get far more race conditions than you do with openrc even with parallel startup, since processes start much more quickly. -- Rich
