On the contrary, that's exactly what systemd's predecessor, Upstart, did. systemd, in contrast, did not. Basing the system around the concept of events triggering things turned out to cause problems, as discussed by Lennart Poettering and by Debian Technical Committee members during the Debian Hoo-Hah as their reason for not choosing Upstart.
- vetinari 7y agoThe problem wasn't that Upstart was event-based, but HOW the event system was designed. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html, section "On Upstart". It names two big issues with HOW.
