Cause it isn´t an init system I thought and read somewhere, but a collection
of system building blocks (all in one repo and package), but the homepage
still says:
"systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and
LSB init scripts."
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/
But well, a system manager is a quite broad term. system managing can be about
anything really.
And well, I also wonder why systemd --user functionality is in the *same*
binary than the PID 1 stuff… but well… I brought this upstream to no avail. At
least the logind stuff appears to be separate:
merkaba:~> ps -eo pid,cmd ax | grep "[s]ystemd"
1 /bin/systemd
296 /lib/systemd/systemd-journald
307 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
1121 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind
1171 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --
systemd-activation
1815 /lib/systemd/systemd --user
But again, all upstream decisions.
Ciao,
