Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference
jones_supa writes: Lennart Poettering, the creator of the controversial init system and service manager for Linux-based operating systems has announced the first systemd conference. The systemd.conf will take place November 5-7, in Berlin, Germany. systemd developers and hackers, DevOps professionals, and Linux distribution packagers will be able to attend various workshops, as well as to collaborate with their fellow developers and plan the future of the project. Attendees will also be able to participate in an extended hackfest event, as well as numerous presentations held by important names in the systemd project, including Poettering himself.
You don't seem to realize that an init script is SUPPOSED to terminate...
I've written init scripts, I know how they work, thanks.
systemd cannot restart the init script.
An init daemon could re-run the init script with the "status" option, and if that exited non-true then it could re-run it with the "start" option, and if that exited non-true then it could give up and interrupt the boot process. That systemd can't do this is not my problem. That systemd won't do this has caused us all problems.
But systemd cannot use the init script OTHER THAN as a one-shot run.
That's because systemd is stupid.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
And actually no need for any development, as it is finished and works reliably. Apparently, systemd fanatics do not understand these concepts. But how could they, none of either is to be found in the object of their worship.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
It's a fact that systemd proponents abuse moderation to support systemd. It is my assumption that they do this because they know systemd is shit, and that they are shit, and they can't handle the scrutiny.
