I think you miss the point which is those unit files depend on C code that is not as easy to follow or as well documented as tools which follow the unix philosophy such as grep and you also don't seem to have read between the lines about the detail of "more complex to debug". In any case systemd has had more attention than it deserves so look inthis archive or likely any other archive (Gentoos a good one for a balanced view) and lwn.net for the arguments and make your own decision. Just don't believe the hype and understand that many pages on freedesktop.org aren't official or balanced but abused as if they are. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
