For me, it was just a matter of going to it. I'm by no means a systemd wizard but systemctl enable servicename@user or what not is just as if not easier than some rc/init systems, and writing the service files, they're, at least in my opinion, easier to read than alot of the init scripts I've hacked over the years. Every since Arch made the transition, I've been pretty pleased with it, and all my existing installations at home, were seemless in migrating from initscripts to systemd. a Quick Perl one liner against my rc.conf and a file with a hash map, and my systemd deamons were set, no more problems. I really don't get what all the hate for it is... I missed those threads in the Arch Forums, but, I'm happy, I like it and as a user, that's ultimately all that matters. Mind you this all coming from a guy who still hates GNOME 3 and Unity with a passion, in alot of cases, the change is good. Once systemd gets into more distros I think the haters will come to see the light, and those that don't, can install Solaris and suck it up ;-) -- John D Jones III Perl/Javascript Zealot [email protected] http://www.zoelife4u.org/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
