<p>Too true.</p>
<p>To me, the main strength of SysV init is its hackcessibility (to use a term related to "hactivation energy", coined, if memory serves, by Tom Lord).</p>
<p>It's ugly (and I'll never understand at which point it departed of the BSD approach of watching its children: remember respawn?)</p>
<p>What I'd like would be some evolution of SysV, equally shell-oriented, but with a more intelligent management of running services -- not an all-integrated black box with DBUS activation and all that. Does something like that exist?</p>

<p>You should have a look at the systemd.confirm_spawn kernel option:</p>

Adding systemd.confirm_spawn=true to the kernel command line will get you mostly the desired behaviour. From the systemd manpage:

Don't leave us hanging; what was the init script that broke when you added a second processor?

I usually read your blog on google reader, from Debian Planet. Today I clicked on it so I could read the comments of this interesting post, then I realized that black text on this grass background is <em>really</em> difficult to read. Just a tip <img alt=":)" src="https://grep.be/blog//smileys/smile.png" />
