Hi, Gergely Nagy: > If you want to properly support multiple init systems, write the init > scripts / service files / etc for each of them.
The problem is that we all did that once already, and look where *that* effort ended up: For sysv-rc, 1000 people copied (old versions of) /etc/init.d/skeleton, hacked their daemon parameters into the variables in the header, *maybe* checked that SIGHUP actually causes the thing to re-read its configuration (if any) as opposed to exiting unglamosourly, and hoped that it'd work. Oh except that some people didn't, which causes problems for the systemd transition -- because init skript that are not skeleton-based don't know how to redirect itself to systemd … I'd much rather have something well-tested and upgradeable which takes the five lines you actually need for the common case(!) from a working systemd service file and produces a sensible init script from that. -- -- Matthias Urlichs
