Description : systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts
: the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization
: capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
: offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
: Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and
: implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
: logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
: replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
: utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,
: date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users, system accounts,
: runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network
: configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name
: resolution.
