Isn't that the "interface" which djb's daemontools, runit, and later s6 also promotes? Anyway, that question was mostly rhetorical. You don't want to get into

Anyway, that question was mostly rhetorical. You don't want to get into the midst of "yet another systemd flamewar" thread (and I don't blame you, neither do I).
Just pointing out that non-systemd alternatives provided the abovementioned interface, long before systemd existed.
- michaelmrose 5y agoIt usually paints a better narrative to compare systemd vs sysvinit and ignore the fact that runit predates systemd by 6 years. It makes it substantially easier to dismiss detractors as Luddites scared of new things. Imagine if Windows 8 came out and people rightly dunked on its many foibles and proponents said it was clearly superior to DOS and people really ought to just learn to love the charms bar and modern UI instead of sticking with their familiar command line interface.
