Hi, I found out about systemd because openSUSE uses it now. I read the annoncement and the three updates of it and some more and can say I like systemd a lot. It just seems to be the right way to do process/service management.
As it happens I also like IBM DB2 a lot (for other reasons). DB2 is closed source (I hope you dont stop reading now) and it installs an inittab entry. fmc:2345:respawn:/opt/ibm/db2/V10.1/bin/db2fmcd #DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator You know that this does no longer work. I guess the details how such processes are started with SysV init (environment, time of first start, how to respawn, ...) are common or even standardized, and from what I read so far I think it can be easily modeled with systemd for someone knowing SysV init and systemd a little better than me. I found some getty examples but I must admit I failed to understand all the details yet. Inittab is a very old, very widely spread concept so I have hope you even have thought about porting something like this in a generic way already and I just failed to find it? Thought I ask before I try to reinvent the wheel in a try and error fashion :) _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
