Please explain that assertion.
Please tale into account how things like inetd and xinetd work. Or, for that matter, how apache works.
I suspect Dirk is trolling or is deluded by thinking any current mainstream OS works following the "unix principles" (whatever that means)
The 'whatever that means' is the issue here. He's not saying what those are, apart from Pike's Dictum, which he seems to think systemd violates. If that's the case then about 85% of what we use under Linux today violates that principle. He also seems to fail to realise that systemd is a _dispatcher_ and that dispatchers have always had things like logging, the ability to kill and restart their children and other 'internal' functions. If he wants a KISS-violater he needs look no further than the Korn Shell. That too is a dispatcher, but has a lot more built in to it and is a long way from the "one thing and only one thing" of a simple CLI. Heck, compared to the Bourne Shell of UNIX/V7 its incredibly complex! If by "unix principles" he means the experimentation and offering up of the prototype to the user base for feedback and testing, which has been a tradition of "UNIX" since the universities got hold of it and which has *always* been a key part of the way Linux works, then I don't understand what he's complaining about. If he wants a polished, finished product then I suggest he goes to IBM or HP. -- Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable...A man full of faith is simply one who has lost (or never had) the capacity for clear and realistic thought.
