@mjg59 oh thank god, I’m not the only person on the planet who thinks systemd and its various *d components is actually quite nice to work with if you spend an hour or two reading the documentation.
@jon

Systemd has some design issues and features I don't like, but on the whole it solves several problems and makes my sysadmin job easier.
