Systemd support?

[cicku]

Hi,

It'd be better to have it supported.

Ideas?

Thanks.

Can you be more specific on what you want supported?

Sorry for jumping on this... I've also been asked by some downstream users for upstart and BSD rc.d support. I would guess that systemd support is yet another kind of init file.

I don't yet have any patches for you, but if you do come to make changes, it may be worth considering architecting to support several sorts of init.

p.s. thanks for an awesome Dist - it does a great job :-)

Linux world has many different init systems, init(sysv), openrc(gentoo), launchd, Upstart(debian), even monit. Among these we have a new member, systemd, you can check the wikipedia or upstream at freedesktop.

I think systemd is bloody popular nowadays, but I couldn't see the support in your package, that's why I started this thread here.

I could provide some patches to add systemd support, but I don't have time.

Your module is required by App::Netdisco, while I'm going to package into Fedora to replace the old implementation in the repo.

I have a hand in the App::Netdisco stuff, and that's also where the other init requests come from (& let's not ignore BSD - lots of users there!).

I can take care of patches. What I need though are examples of the output for each flavour of init. I certainly don't have the time to read all the man pages (or trust myself to get it right). With an example output I could patch Daemon::Control's existing template system.

Github gist links would be ideal. The more the merrier.
