So if something requires httpd to be started, you don't just mark one to start with a 10 and the other with a 15 .. then hold your breath and hope that it takes 2 seconds or less for the item marked with 10 to start before the item marked as 15 starts .. the daemon with a require does not attempt to start before the prereq as started and registered as started. You also act like starting servers faster is no big deal .. ask Amazon if it was a big deal that the hundreds of thousands of servers they need to restart for AWS xen update took 1/3 the time to restart. Ask them how much money it cost them for things to take way longer to restart. As any of the cloud providers how much time/money it can save if you can spin up things faster. > You are making an excellent job at ignoring my argument. > Again: how do you ensure that your system services are up and running > with sysvinit? You guys can't just ignore the advantages of systemd and even ignore the points like they don't exist. Here is a prime example. You would need to use another piece of software to do something systemd does that sysinit does not. You need something like monit (http://mmonit.com/monit/) to monitor daemons. > > - it's brilliant when you have to start it right on the >> podium few seconds before giving your presentation.
