Yes, that's exactly what I think is obnoxious. I prefer the upstart syntax, which avoids the temptation to write unreadable one-line shell constructs. (Indeed, several have already been posted in recipes in various threads on debian-devel about this.) You can, of course, be disciplined about this when writing systemd helper scripts by always exernalizing the shell script into a separate file, but I really like that upstart lets me inline trivial shell fragments without worrying about that while still keeping them readable. I personally don't find any of your other arguments persuasive (maybe I'm too used to writing portable /bin/sh scripts), but I do see where you're coming from. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
