   systemd begrudgingly drops a safety net while a challenger appears, GNU Shepherd 1.0

   https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/13/systemd_257_gnu_shepherd/

   Holidays come early for distro builders with two init systems to choose from

   <- by me on @theregister
   (but I've not dared to poke my head into the comments yet)

     @jaygooby @lproven @theregister that's not even a problem, but a new service manager in 2024 that is not supervising and instead relies on crusty old demonization hacks is just embarrassing

     @lproven @theregister Oh nice, so Shepherd will surely use some bash/unix philosophy that we're used to. /me goes off and reads the docs...

     > A unique feature of the Shepherd is that you configure and extend it in its own implementation language: in Guile Scheme

     ```
     register-services
     (list (service '(ntpd) …)
     …))

     (start-in-the-background '(ntpd …))
     ```
