    I still don’t know what people use to create services other than systemd

    If you’re writing bash scripts you’re basically replicating a lot of the functionality of systemd but with larger foot guns

      The system V init approach did the job fine for a couple of decades—even if the actual service definitions were a glorified shell switch statement as you insinuate.

      Canonical did their upstart thing for a couple of years that wasn’t too bad to use, personally I’m glad they ended up switching to systemd though.
