Yep, I hate having my boot process finish in a fraction of the time with simple and straightforward configuration files. I hate it so much I'm going to abandon the entire kernel I've architechted my system around so my boot process can fully remain a bezoar of copy-paste mutated shell scripts.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoBoot times, although obviously benefited by inetd and parallel execution, were already improved significantly by the LSB-standardized init headers and the insserv mechanism to interpret them. Debian, Red Hat/Fedora, openSUSE, etc. all used them, to the best of my knowledge. Also, the bad reputation around initscripts is, again, a SysV issue. Here is the rc script for sshd on OpenBSD: daemon="/usr/sbin/sshd" . /etc/rc.d/rc.subr rc_cmd $1 It's even shorter than a systemd unit file.
