Ignoring the fact that SUSE != openSUSE,
ya, true enough, though that make it sound like the answers for the two are different. Is SUSE shipping alternatives for service control that openSUSE is not? If that's the case, why would they provide an alternative where openSUSE has not?
Other then in the SLE 11 SP4 LTSS, SUSE does not ship an init system other then systemd, due to SUSE's "Factory First" policy if they did you'd also find it in tumbleweed. This excludes certain things like some limited containers that don't really have any init system. Beyond that In SLE 15, openSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed, almost all configuration files that other init systems could use to start applications / daemons such as sysvinit scripts have been removed from packages. Further to that no one has put in any effort to making it possible to use an init system other then systemd in openSUSE (Several years back a small group started some work on this and quickly decided it would take more effort then they had time to put in so they stopped). so as a result of that it is safe for developers / packagers / anyone else to assume that systemd is the only init system available on openSUSE and relevant to this discussion that by the time PID 1 is started /usr will be part of the filesystem. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
