Re: Bug#733452: init system daemon readiness protocol

[cameron <camerontnorman@gmail.com>]

Hello Mr. Jackson,

I was curious: why should SOCK_STREAM be used instead of SOCK_DGRAM in 

your proposed protocol?

Have you seen Lennart Poettering's pastebin of a short daemon side 

implementation of that protocol: http://fpaste.org/64821/32737713/? It 

meets all your desired criteria, it is used in one init system already, 

and it is very extensible. Now that you know that systemd does not 

actually use SOCK_SEQPACKET, but SOCK_DGRAM, do you have any changes in 

opinion of the systemd approach?

Thank you for your time,

Cameron Norman
