      Except it is clearly written by someone who just despises it, and doesn’t really know what they are talking about.

      Init scripts were awful… they varied by distro and frequently were the source of odd problems.

      There’s a good reason the Linux industry moved away from them to other ways to handle initialisation of the system and service management.

        They weren’t that bad. You had to look in like 3 places, depending on the distro, but you could find them. And you could see exactly what they were doing once you found them.

        systemd gets a job done but I’d much prefer something simpler.
