Re: `systemd --system` as a viable way out of the systemd debate?

[Andreas Florath <andre@flonatel.org>]

Dear all!

I'm trying to run multiple init systems in parallel.

First step: run systemd with PID!=1.
It does not run out of the box: hacking systemd is needed [2] [3]

Nevertheless I got a system up and running - but it's still degraded:
    4 S root         1     0  0  80   0 -  1052 -      11:28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/pipexec -l 1 -- [SYSTEMD /lib/systemd/systemd --system ]
    4 S root       137     1  0  80   0 -  7703 -      11:28 ?        00:00:00 /lib/systemd/systemd --system

Technical details, patches (hacks!) and status can be found on github [1]

Any support and ideas are welcome.

Kind regards - Andreas
