Systemd config files are fairly simple and straightforward. It gives a simple interface to start/stop/restart processes and lets you do things like automatically start a process on server boot.



systemd unit files are cleaner than some init scripts, but they only have one implementation, which works on one libc and one kernel. uf.

I agree overall, but apparently systemd supports musl. No clue why or who uses it, but it's a thing.


Not according to several people who maintain patches outside of systemd explicitly for musl compatibility.

Did this change recently? Last I heard, systemd maintainers explicitly rejected attempts to support alternate libc implementations.
