Can you share what was that thing that didn't work with systemd? I've seen pretty crazy setups and can't quite imagine how horrid of a mess those would have been if a large rc.init shell script ridden with sleeps was used instead.

Last time? Getting pppoe to automatically start and restart if it dies. Or not that, but setting up everything for a custom router with proper dns, firewall and all the other crap, without using crippled systemd versions for services that i couldn't even uninstall because of dependencies.

Maybe it's Ubuntu's fault since they seem to want to run in containers not on bare metal lately.

I switched that box to Devuan in the mean time :)
