Please do not tell me that I want to write a unit file when the *entire* ecosystem takes command lines just fine. I have hundreds of dockerfiles that have entry points - why do I need to write unit files for them? I have command line tools that generate docker images... with command lines - why would I want to write unit files for them?Also, dumb-init is not an init system. It's a signal proxy.On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 9:55 PM, Scott McCarty <smccarty redhat com> wrote:I am skeptical of any "resource" argument against systemd. Are you seeing some actually impact to performance that is causing problems? As for unit files, they are rediculously easy. Much easier than figuring out how to start a daemon properly by reading documentation.
I don't have a strong opinion for CentOS/Fedora. But for RHEL, I think multiple init systems will just generate more technical questions from customers and eat up more sales resources explaining when people should use what. Options are great, but confusing, that's why Apple got rid of a lot of them...

Zero overhead, defunct process management, proper logging, simplicity, no moving parts, no additional unit file (I don't have unit files).
Turn it around - if I have the command line "ansible-playbook ...", what does systemd get me?

What does dumb-init or tini get me that systemd doesn't?
