Re: Time to look into it.
"How have others found systemd?"
At first I was very much against it.
Then I actually sat down and "grudgingly" started using it.
Now I kinda like it. Once you've got your head around it, it's actually fairly easy to use.
Want to enable a service?
instead of chkconfig <service> on use systemctl enable <service>
Want to start/stop/restart a service?
instead of service <service> start/stop/restart use systemctl start/stop/restart <service>
Oh, and one handy feature you can chain start/stops. Example;
systemctl restart shorewall httpd mariadb
instead of:
service shorewall restart; service httpd restart; service mariadb restart
And creating service is also easier.
Although. I know that it still breaks that whole unix thing of "do one job and do it well" but so long as it works well and isn't causing any major problems for you by being combined.. does it really matter?
