Not just systemd, but... everything else that's trying to replace sysvinit, too. Upstart jobs are really simple, and OpenRC and modern BSD initscripts are also much simpler than SysV (and old BSD) initscripts. I think we're at the point where regardless of the systemd vs. everything else debate, we can all agree that SysV initscripts are shite. > I tried writing a sysv init script from scratch. I stopped because of sheer boredom, and resorted to copy&paste to save both time and nerves. Better yet, at my last job, I had some extra time, so I rewrote Ubuntu's qpidd initscript as an Upstart job, and it was so satisfying to see that giant script get condensed down to a few lines.
