I started using Unix before Linux was a thing, and BSD-style rc scripts were a pain in the arse. Then along came Linux with its sysvinit-style init scripts, which were a pain in the arse. Now here's systemd with yet another form of init scripts, which are a pain in the arse. Each time there's been an evolutionary shift in how we do things, and systemd works pretty well for the way we use desktop systems now. They're also not terrible for servers once you get used to them. I still find them pretty annoying. Anyway the TL;DR is that computers suck and operating systems suck and init scripts suck and the whole thing sucks, and everything else we've tried is somehow worse than what we have. It makes me want to just go back to fixing tractors. People are really grateful when you show up in the middle of a muddy field at 10pm and fix their tractor. |
