Description : system and session manager
systemd is a replacement for sysvinit. It is dependency-based and able
to read the LSB init script headers in addition to parsing rcN.d links
as hints.
it also provides process supervision using cgroups and the ability to
not only depend on other init script being started, but also
availability of a given mount point or dbus service.
systemd is currently linux-only as it relies on technologies like
cgroups, libudev, epoll and signalfd.
I am planning on providing corresponding startup scripts and be
coinstallable with sysvinit, switchable with a flag to the kernel.
