Cause it isn´t an init system I thought and read somewhere, but a collection of system building blocks (all in one repo and package), but the homepage still says: "systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts." http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ But well, a system manager is a quite broad term. system managing can be about anything really. And well, I also wonder why systemd --user functionality is in the *same* binary than the PID 1 stuff… but well… I brought this upstream to no avail. At least the logind stuff appears to be separate: merkaba:~> ps -eo pid,cmd ax | grep "[s]ystemd" 1 /bin/systemd 296 /lib/systemd/systemd-journald 307 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd 1121 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind 1171 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile -- systemd-activation 1815 /lib/systemd/systemd --user But again, all upstream decisions.
