You might like that, but it makes life hell for developers who write and package any kind of daemon/service.
- e7620 12y agoAbsolutely not, only if they depend on systemd. If they follow UNIX conventions, they don't need to edit a single file. Writing a daemon init script was a solved problem decades ago, and that script will serve for every init system.
- api 12y agoNope. Some systemd distros do not support daemon init scripts done the old way.
- digi_owl 12y agoI keep seeing this, and i keep wondering why said developers are doing any packaging at all. A binary and clear instructions on how it is launched from a command line should suffice for any competent admin. He should then be able to fit it into the boot scheme of whatever system he is maintaining.
