Uh, it is way too late for such changes. Maybe if you brought this
five years ago… Right now it would only bring pointless differentation
between older and newer distributions. We just started
unification of all differences in distributions.
Well then create a SystemD 2 and make it the next incarnation :p.
The idea that it can be "too late" to change anything about anything
must surely be seen as a rather weird thing because it would imply that
a 1000 years from now we would still be using the same systemd unless it
was replaced by some other tool for precisely the reason that it didn't
evolve anymore ;-).
Alright so I will just create systemQ that does nothing other than
translate all of the systemd calls for fun since no one else uses these
command names anyway ;-).
It will just be impossible to create new or matching functionality ;-).
Binaries prefixed with systemd- are either not to be started manually
(systemd-journald, networkd etc) or not stable/mature enough to be
widely
used – like cgtop, cgls. The latter kind can be renamed if it
matured enough - that what happened with systemd-journalctl →
journalctl.
Yes actually I only referred to systemd-analyze.
As for /usr/libexec/systemd/systemd … well, maybe it should be called
systemd-initd from the start. Now it's too late.
It says it is called "init" anyway. It is still started as /sbin/init.
$ ps 1
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1 ? Ss 0:04 /sbin/init
$ ps -o comm 1
COMMAND
systemd
Actually on my system it is symlinked to /bin/systemd.... I don't really
know what for. Probably only to put it in the path?
But anyway I don't see how it could ever be too late. Your
/usr/libexec/systemd/systemd is my /lib/systemd/systemd.
And pretty much nothing needs to know about that path. But anyway.
