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, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system
state, 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.
