Description-en: system and service manager - SysV links
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux. 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 is compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts and can work as a
drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
.
This package provides the manual pages and links needed for systemd
to replace sysvinit. Installing systemd-sysv will overwrite /sbin/init with a
link to systemd.
