Well, yes, starting & stopping daemons is pretty much the *primary function* of systemd; it's part of the job of being an init system. (Although the old SysVinit would rather delegate this to shellscripts.) The kernel still manages individual processes (fork/exec/exit), of course; but it's not the kernel's job to care about what is a 'daemon' nor what daemons should be started & when. -- Mantas Mikulėnas <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
