This. I see criticisms of systemd all around Hacker News, but I find it really easy to create a unit file on a production system and just go systemctl start <unit-file>. I sometimes even create shell scripts for some tasks and create one-off unit files so I can run them easily as the right user, and have proper logging for free.
I'm not a system administrator and I just appreciate that the user-system interface is easy to work with, for the occasions when there's no dedicated sysop in the team.
- drinchev 10y agoI second this. As far back as I have been a Linux user ( back to Slackware 4 ) I was very pissed by the systemd ideas. Nowadays I think it's priceless when I can just create a unit file for my NodeJS and do journalctl -fu my_app. I think the criticism goes to the leader of systemd, who has exceptional arrogance ( as far as I have read ). Maybe if there is a competition between systemd and you name it, the init system will feel more natural.
