minus-squareHaarukkateroitin@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·15 hours agoI have to write startup scripts time-to-time and I have to say that I don’t miss at all the old init-system. Not that systemd don’t have flaws, but in old init-system even simplest daemon took too many lines. Not to mention hacky comment definitions.

minus-squarenamingthingsiseasy@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 hours agoVoid Linux uses runit, for example. Here’s the documentation they provide on how to use it: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html It only takes 5-10 minutes to read and understand how to manage all your services and write your own. Simple and fast. If only systemd were this easy!
minus-squarephantomwise@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agooh I thought runit was an old init system from before systemd, I guess I shouldn’t have assumed that systemd was the latest one because it’s everywhere, thanks for the info I’ll check it out!
minus-squareInnerScientist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 hours ago…you assumed correctly, runit first released 2004, meanwhile systemd released 2010
minus-squarephantomwise@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 hour agoSo there aren’t any new ones being developed since systemd?

There’s new init systems now.
