  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I find everything so complicated with systemd.

    SysV was just intuitive for me and my knowledge. There was just one directory with all the startup scripts in it. And they were run in their alphanumerical ordner. Just that simple. If I wanted to change the order in which the scripts started, I just had to rename the file. You don't want a script to run at all? Just remove it.

    I assume, systemd has many advantages for a knowledged user. But for me, it still is just a hassle.

    And what happened if one of those scripts failed?

    How did your express a dependency of a service on data being mounted?

    Did you ever have to face debugging failing networking via scripts?

    [–] xcutie@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago

    I just debuged it like every other of my scripts that failed. Again, I didn't need any special knowledge of the init process, just general (and for me: very limited) knowledge.

    The answer to your other questions: I don't thing I ever did that.
