There are more than three good BSD derived systems that together cover almost any imaginable set of requirements. The sheep will follow the herd though..... If your daemon's are crashing and in need of restarting so often that a tool is needed to restart them then you have a myriad of other far more pressing problems you should be dealing with first! If it were so simple I would expect that claim to be more widely advertised, yet we fall back on "it restarts daemons that crash". Personally I think systemd trying to solve the rather high demands and diverse requirements of mobile laptop systems and is trying to meet or match MS Windows in this regard. (personally I think macos has them both beat by a country mile!) It sure as heck isn't of any use in production server environments! If it were more about servers then it would look more like SMF, or maybe launchd, and it's code wouldn't look like it was written by a grade school student. -- Greg A.
