"any other init system..." originally included "...besides an ancient SysV strawman." but I removed it because it seemed overly snarky.
Having written and dealt with both; It's about equal in my time and effort to write either in sh or windows ini/'unit' files.
- foldr 8y agoIf you claim that System V init is just as good as systemd, then it is a relevant comparison rather than a straw man, no? In many cases there were a substantial number of people who wanted to keep System V init rather than move to systemd (e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/sysvinit https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/sysvinit). System V init wasn't an ancient straw man for Debian users. It was the init system that systemd replaced.
