Incidentally, upstart also 1. claimed to be compatible with inittab[0]; and 2. planned to replace at least cron and automount. [0] in fact all it supported was one line -- it used a bit of sed to determine the default runlevel. All other entries in inittab were silently ignored. > For a while it will still be possible to hang on to sysvinit or > upstart or whatever but eventually the effort required to keep > everything working with dependencies breaking stuff all the time will > be too great. Speaking as someone who has suffered under upstart since 2008, it's definitely not worth keeping -- at least not on servers and embedded systems. (I don't care about desktops.) upstart is systemd with a smaller budget and less demagoguery. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
