it's much easier to write snippets for than sysvinit. It does proper
supervision that restarts services when they go down. So where's the problem?
I know it's a heated topic, but still I hate to see unsourced comments
such as this.
The problem I have with systemd is principally the implementation. The
tools I have been using on RHL and successors since I gave up on OS/2
now don't all work or don't work all the time or give me rude messages.
I am referring here to ckkconfig and service commands. Whatever the new
commands are, their names are unnecessarily long and obtuse, and I don't
particularly want to do more than I could previously with service and
chkconfig. And, for the most part, new sysadmins will have to learn both
ways to do things for different releases of the same distribution.
As for restarting failing daemons, I had a problematic Squid once, and a
Debian system that randomly dropped the ADSL connexion (probably, it was
the IAP dropping the connexion and Debian not recovering gracefully),
both years ago and neither seems major now.
Oh year, sometimes the kernel gets a little enthusiastic about killing
random programs to fix out of memory problems. systemd's restarting of
these might be good, it might make the problem worse. Either way, it's a
bandaid. Better to teach the kernel better manners.
Apart from restarting failing services, is systemd of much significance
to users of zBoxes? Quick boots are nice, but only if one reboots often.
