GNU Shepherd 0.6 Released - Adds Support For One-Shot Services

[nils_]

Oh great, I can use it to start systemd then.

I just did an experiment writing the shortest program that returns 1, in both C and Rust. I used level 2 optimizations.

C (GCC): 18 KB
Rust: 255 KB

Congrats, you discovered that GCC links libc dynamically, while rustc links it's standard library statically.

The following page lists, what you can do to get smaller binaries:

His minimal example, which only prints "Hello World!" is 8 kiB large.

So migrate to Shepherd then.

Sheperd does not support this feature. I'm afraid he will be left alone in the dark or something.

(and there is nothing stopping anyone from writing a similar tool for systemd).

It's pretty unlikely that someone makes a tool to automate the creation of 2 text files with 3 lines of text in them.

I think it was just one command.

Upstart didn't provide it.

Oh, that sucks. This systemd isn't so good. I don't like having to create files and stuff.
I think it was much easier back in the days of Upstart, I think it was just one command.

With Upstart you had to edit the daemon script so this was not something that you could do with a command unless some one released a tool that performed the edit of course (and there is nothing stopping anyone from writing a similar tool for systemd).

no.

if you want to run it on system boot you have to write the 2 text files from the other link https://www.linux.com/blog/end-road-...s-socket-units

But it is configured to always run on start.

yes https://www.systutorials.com/docs/li...temd-activate/

But it is configured to always run on start. I don't know how that command is going to help me.
