  No, he looked at upstart and found it severely lacking. launchd was much more the inspiration.

    In Lennart Poettering's very own words, written on xyr own WWW site back in 2010, xe stated that xe "took a lot of inspiration" from Upstart.

      Read http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html, specifically the criticism on Upstart. Systemd having taken such a different path to solving the startup and service problem, I don't think you can really say that Upstart inspired systemd, perhaps only Upstart's failings.

        And yet it is that very page where Lennart Poettering says exactly what I quoted. You have an argument with Lennart Poettering, and are trying to argue that xe did not take inspiration from what xe said that xe did.
