Ehr, that&#x27;s exactly how it used to be. Various sysvinit scripts that all differed across distributions. It&#x27;s pretty appalling the way you respond though, just dismissing instead of trying to educate. I&#x27;m reading along and I have no clue what you&#x27;re on about. Maybe you mean that there was other stuff out there? I care about what is on a distribution. E.g. RHEL had upstart, but in practice it was lots of large sysvinit scripts.
