Bitfox (12024-11-30): > May I ask what's the main difference between systemd and sysv for init > system?
SysV Init is a bunch of fragile shell scripts with 80% boilerplate code that will misbehave at the first unexpected circumstance and cannot even tell you if your daemon has crashed or is running in five instances stepping on each other toes. Systemd is an over-engineered monstrosity that invalidates all the intuition you have built based on Unix tradition, where the documentation tells you it has six different ways of doing the bizarre thing you need between which you cannot guess the difference but you realize none work as documented and suit your needs, and you end up abusing another feature in a way that will break on next release.
