Saying that something is not a systemd replacement because it does not do x feature that systemd does misses the point that systemd does too much. /sbin/init can be simple, and written in any language, and when it is, its often better than systemd because of that.
If software supports start but not stop or restart or enable disable as both systemV and systemd do, its still a fully functional systemd replacement if your context does not need those features

If someone tells me something is a systemd replacement I don't take it as them telling me it is an init system. If it is an init system unrelated to systemd don't call it a systemd replacement.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoAre you talking about systemd the project or systemd the init? I have heard lots of complaints about journald or this and that other project under the umbrella, but you are the first person I hear complain about the init part.
