    Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It’s quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.

        Too much

        But that has been a complaint for 10 years and it’s only gotten worse

        I wouldn’t mind systemd if it weren’t for the fact that it was to be a startup system that promised to make everything easier and faster to startup yet managing systemd is a drag at best, and of it did one thing it’s making my systems boot up like mud

          I feel like the glued together collection of scripts was way worse to manage than systemd.

            Is it? It was always super easy to get anything done and with systems it suddenly got factors more complicated. Port assignment was super easy to do, note the past tense. It now requires systemd and instead of a 15 second config file change and service restart I now need to create and delete files, restart multiple services, God knows what in systems.

            Simply put: why? If you make an alternative solution AT LEAST it shouldn’t become way more over complicated to get basic tasks done

      I thought the same, but didn’t we already have things like chron syntax for this? Systemd didn’t have to build its own library.
