Rc scripts handle all those kinds of services, because rc scripts are tailored to the service, and options are added to them besides the standard start/stop.
That was a distribution extension of init scripts.
Systemd has lots of holes understanding many of those kinds of services that don't just start/stop.
No, however there is a massive hole of misunderstanding about how it works (or how it should work)
My point this time was that there are lots of tasks related to services that don't pertain to starting or stopping them, and there's no hope of adding those to systemctl since they're so varied, nor would it be correct, and this is where rc scripts shine. They act as a central hub to general service administration, and it's good to have such a hub. It eases the sysadmin's task.
The problem is, they were built for a model that does not exists anymore, it will just confuse sysadmins and will result in endless reports and rants about it. As Im pretty sure I am right and this idea is wrong,I will just sit and watch the show, time will surely force the proponents to accept that you cannot keep an illusion alive for very long. unfortunately that also means it is gonna break badly sooner or later. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
