If you actually read the SVID docs, editing /etc/inittab is the only truly universal method of doing this kind of thing for System V-derived systems. The fact that no one with any real experience in developing and supporting well behaved Unix applications does it this way says something about the utility of the SVID. And yes, thats the usual path for TSM: often technically correct, but usually not terribly well connected with reality. 8-) > > Critique of the implementation can be very well warranted, but your initial > remark seemed like it aims at criticizing the New Way™ instead of the > implementation. I think it remains to be seen. Conceptually, it's a useful idea. Experience so far is mixed. Time will tell. KISS is still a fundamentally good practice, and simple is not a word I would apply to systemd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
