IIRC the 2nd edition of Armstrong's Kernel Internals book has a chapter on it. But don't remember for sure.
That one, I will check out for sure! (The last Kernel book I owned was about Version 2). Thanks!

Hi.. I took a super quick poke at it. Mostly landed a bunch of
references to something called "Savaged by Systemd".. =)
I suspect that details about systemctl parameters might *not* be in this book. :-)
Did also see the following two:
* How Linux Works, 2nd Edition (Paperback); Brian Ward; 2015..
Incidentally references systemd as one of the many topics covered.
I'll look, but this will, likely not have the detail I need.
* Fedora Linux Servers with systemd: second edition; Petersen,
Richard; 2016. Systemd is in the title.......
This might be a possibility. I'm sure, even Fedora's use of Systemd isn't *that* different from Debian's.
Otherwise, I wonder if the seeming shortage of tangible books is about
how volatile this topic is..
Could be. I was even looking for things, like "Systemd for Dummies"! (Any ideas, anyone, on who might author *that* Book? LOL!)
Or if it's maybe because it's an evolving, moving target
development-wise (just like all its counterparts)? Maybe it's hard to
document on paper because that [media] becomes outdated, thus
basically fire starter material, almost as fast as it's printed when
it comes to tech subjects?
That too.
Personally, I've bought several older tech books purely for
occasionally waxing nostalgic. :)
Me too, in the past (when I had "Disposal Income"). Thanks!
