How so?
So, I've taken it upon myself to set up a VM rip upstart out and install systemd.
I'm not saying you shouldn't try, but this is going to be a pretty big task. And it's going to be something that you'll have to do with each ubuntu release, not to mention keeping tracks of any changes to the upstart scripts for whatever services we have and porting them back to the new system.
So, how insane would people think I am for, if this works, proposing that we ditch upstart?
I think very. In a test VM, sure. Across all of Redbrick's servers? Nuts. However, that's only because I don't understand your reasoning, so here are some questions off the top of my head: - What does it do that upstart doesn't? - What advantages does it have over upstart? - What problems with upstart does this fix? I may have more, will think some. --E
