Which “unix philosophy” would that be?
The one where init does a single task instead of spreading itself
throughout the system ...
What “single task” did init do?
* Mount filesystems
* Spawn syslog, cron
* Spawn terminal login processes (getty)
* Respawn terminated getty processes
* Monitor other special stuff in inittab
* Spawn random other services, without monitoring their state
* Act as a general catch-all for orphaned processes when they terminate
This was all before systemd came on the scene.
