If you're administering a server, what else is there?
There are service managers like systemd and shepherd, which use daemonization under the hood. Then there's container orchestration like docker compose, kubernetes, etc. For my toy servers at home I just use screen and have it set up automatically at boot.
What do you use outside of the microservices camp?
- tommiegannert 2y agoWe've had init and inittab for decades. Daemonization was never a necessity. Service managers don't daemonize anything, because they never have to release control to their parent. Just like init always did. The only thing that's changed with systemd is that inittab now has a dependency management, and richer syntax.
